Description:

Mr. Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable new novel, is the sidekick and confidant of Willy G. Christmas, the brilliant, troubled, and altogether original homeless poet-saint from Brooklyn. As Willy's body slowly expires, he sets off with Mr. Bones for Baltimore in search of his high school English teacher and a new home for his companion. Mr. Bones is our witness during their journey. Like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza before them, they sally forth on a last great adventure.
