A Divination of the Dog by A.M. Farrow

A poignant tale of family, hard times, and injustice born from our unprecedented modern world, A Divination of the Dog by A.M. Farrow is a sometimes-manic but uniquely strange delight. With multiple narrative perspectives and a time-jumping plot that gradually pieces together a mystery, this complex work is undeniably captivating. Touching on everything from police brutality and political incompetence to the importance of father figures and the value of psychiatry, this striking piece of fiction is timely, confident, and smart. The text needs a thorough edit to fix countless errors, formatting mistakes, and typos, but the prose itself is witty and original, landing somewhere between Christopher Moore and Michael Moore, making for an appealing and unpredictable read.
