The Art of Racing in the Rain is a 2008 novel by American writer Garth Stein that is narrated by a canis familiaris named Enzo. The novel was a New York Times bestseller for 156 weeks.[1] A film adaptation of the aforementioned name directed past Simon Curtis and starring Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, and Kevin Costner as the vocalization of Enzo, was released in 2019.
Summary [edit]
The novel follows the story of Denny Swift, a race machine driver and customer representative at a Seattle BMW dealership, and his dog, Enzo, who believes in the legend that a dog "who is prepared" will be reincarnated in his next life as a homo. Enzo sets out to prepare, with The Seattle Times calling his journey "a struggle to hone his humanness, to make sense of the good, the bad and the unthinkable."[two]
Enzo spends most of his days watching and learning from television, gleaning what he tin can about his owner's greatest passion, race car driving—and relating information technology to life. He watches as Denny marries Eve, the birth of their daughter, Zoe, and then Eve's evolution of brain cancer, which just he can find through his acute sense of smell. Enzo eventually plays a key part in Denny's child-custody battle with his in-laws and distills his observations of the human status in the mantra "that which you manifest is before you." Enzo helps Denny throughout his life, through his ups and downs, and gets Zoe back.
