When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. But while troubles abound, rich and surprising rewards lie in store for both of them. Elegiac and searching, The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion. 000851135 586__ $$aNational Book Award, 2018. 000851135 650_0 $$aHuman-animal relationships$$vFiction. 000851135 650_0 $$aFemale friendship$$vFiction. 000851135 650_0 $$aGrief$$vFiction. 000851135 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcgft 000851135 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3564.U485$$iF75$$i2018 000851135 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:851135$$pGLOBAL_SET 000851135 980__ $$aBIB 000851135 980__ $$aBOOK
