Wasn't that the silliest thing ever? As you probably know from my blog I got a dog last summer (small and female, wouldn't you know) and have now spent a lot of time observing both dogs and their owners in our neighborhood and the park. Now my dog does have a lot of girlfriends, but seems to have a fair number of boyfriends too --- all neutered. And I do see her, um..humping the one girlfriend she loves the most. I'm told it isn't sexual, but I wondered what some of those Indian pet owners would think.
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
