...Longlisted for this year's Man Booker Prize (and a strong candidate for the shortlist to be announced on Sept. 9), The Lost Dog tells the stories of two people, Tom Loxley and Nelly Zhang. Tom, a divorced Anglo-Indian literary scholar who lives in Melbourne, has lost his dog in the vast wilderness of the Australian bush. He is there staying in the holiday home of his friend, Nelly, while he finishes a book on Henry James and the uncanny. Nelly, an artist who lives and works in a disused Victorian textile mill called the Preserve, located...
...together, look for the (unnamed) dog. But these eight days compress nearly a century of recollected histories of several lives in India. They include Tom's memories of growing up in India and the family's immigration to Australia, and the stories of Tom's father, the Englishman Arthur Loxley, and Arthur's Eurasian wife, Iris de Souza.

Had he not batted over .300 away from Fenway Park--a feat Red Sox batters rarely accomplish--and played a steady second base (only 12 errors in 106 games), all the talk in camp would be about how much better Remy's knee looks. Had he not slammed 33 doubles and knocked in 45 runs, rapping out 144 hits in his first 449 at bats in the major leagues. Dave Stapleton would be fighting it out with Chico...
