And a Dog Called Fig: Solitude, Connection, the Writing Life

A sweet and powerful writing memoir framed by stories of the dogs who have shared the author’s daily life and creative pursuits. The writing life can be a solitary one, requiring a retreat from the noise and demands of the world—but it also requires connection and companionship. Enter: dogs. Interspersed with vignettes about other writers and their canine counterparts, including Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Hardy, and more, this is a loving tribute to creativity, nature, and the dogs who make it all possible. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
