A warm, dark novel of family, distance & time from the author of the much-loved, highly-praised, prize-nominated SISTER CRAZY.An English novel of real brilliance.Feed My Dear Dogs is a book with its telescopic gaze part-turned toward outer space, and like the sky at night it dazzles with a myriad points of light, but the longer you look at it the more you become all too aware of the defining darkness between.It has a strange, baggy, compelling narrative sensibility that begins in outright observational comedy and slides into ever darker regions, while never losing its sharp tongue and wicked wit. Jem Weiss (her again ), the middle child of five, inhabits a family too fantastic to leave lightly, and experiences childhood more acutely, more joyously and more entertainingly than most.

In addition to the stories of family life there is a plethora of details about astronomy and Judaism and books and films and songs and saints and nuns and, and, and... It gets to be a bit much at times but I recommend persevering because these things do illuminate the end of the book.
What is clear is that this family is very close and everyone is bursting with intelligence. I'm pretty sure that part is autobiographical. Meal times must have been chaotic but very interesting in the Richler household. ( )
