About the book: 2009 / The author of these notes, the dog Boy, is pure paranoid, suffering from delusions of grandeur combined with an acute delusion of persecution, which manifests itself only in tactically advantageous moments of his life. As a writer, he is a cross between Proust and Eeyore, prone to slander and absolutely self-absorbed. Quotes from great sages are interspersed in his diary with purely canine themes, and references to Voltaire and Machiavelli are adjacent to practical advice on how to protect your tail and paws from clumsy human limbs under the dinner table. This book, full of humor, is illustrated with wonderful drawings by Edward Coren.
