Inhaltsangabe

DSI: Dog Scene Investigation is the third volume in Anthony Linick's continuing chronicle of life among the dog people of Paddington Rec. It follows publication of Strictly Come Barking and Have I Got Dogs For You! An addictive narrative, the series has earned a reputation for its veracity, its thoroughness - and its obvious celebration of all things canine. Some comments: "A very warm and charming book, a sort of Boswellian chronicle of the Paddington Rec. - and, like Boswell, it could be an incredible source of information for future social historians" - editor David Maisel "It moves very quickly. Anthony Linick has found the voice to relate this living pageant, human and canine - which he treats here as equivalent. Maybe this is his special discovery: men as dogs, dogs as men" - poet Paul Raboff "Strictly Come Barking is what I call pointilist writing - in which one uses points of chronology to paint an impressionistic picture of a phenomenon. Clearly, here it works" - Dr. Adrian Tschoegl, The Wharton School "Unlike so many other dog books, Strictly Come Barking has none of the falsification and exaggeration that other authors use to advance their stories. Here we have, instead, an authentic voice, one that tells a real tale - one that all dog lovers will recognize and enjoy" Janet Lockwood, film commissioner, State of Michigan "The social history of Paddington Recreation Ground, Westminster, and the daily lives of residents is quite unique and will form a wonderful history of our times for future generations" "A truly wonderful piece of writing and what a superb social commentary on the times" - Jan Prendergast, Westminster City Council Anthony Linick is former Professor of Humanities at Michigan State University and head of the English Department at the American School in London. In addition to his Authorhouse publications in the Paddington Rec series, two other books have been published by Authorhouse
