About this listen
Single, childless, J.T. Rosen—a poet and college professor who has failed to live up to her early promise—has constructed a careful, orderly life around her work and the little house she has lived in alone for many years. Long ago, after a tumultuous youth filled with the “Sturm und Drang of boys and men,” she gave up on the possibility of love; she has begun by now, in the Middle Western town she cannot bring herself to think of as home, to give up on the possibility of friendship. But when a dog enters her life, the relationship that unfolds between them provides a glimpse for her of the possibilities that life still offers, of goodness that she begins to understand can be counted on in some inexplicable way. Dog is about how a person constructs a life for herself, about the bits and pieces that make up a life as one goes along, and about the possibility of goodness, always, among those pieces—the possibility of love, and grace.
