| Description: |
Part mystery, part love story, part advice column, "Pet Peeves" is a comic portrait of a veterinarian driven to desperation by his patients' problems. Line drawings throughout. |
| Synopsis: |
The whimsy of George Plimpton, a writer known for his style and rich imagination, teams up with one of The New Yorker's favorite cartoonists, Edward Koren, whose smartly comic cartoons enjoy a devoted following to give us a hilarious, quirky look at the neuroses of humans -- and the pets they love. Pet Peeves is an engagingly constructed, goofy mystery story inviting readers to figure out exactly what has happened to Dr. Rawff, a missing pet-problem advice columnist and veterinarian. Structured as a series of letters to Dr. Rawff from desperate humans in which increasingly bizarre animal behaviors are confessed, Pet Peeves invites readers to join in the comic mystery. |
