Pam Houston
Sight Hound
A Novel
"The much anticipated debut novel from
the marvelous short-story writer Pam
Houston."
—Seattle Times
"ENTERTAINING. . . . It's a poignant and joyous
novel, a tear-jerker certain to appeal to those of us
who suspect, foolishly or intuitively, that our pets'
emotions are tightly bound to our own. Without
excess sentimentality, Houston offers proof that
fickle humans are capable of learning a lesson or two
in devotion, even if the teacher has four legs and bad
breath."—Miami Herald
"The great news about Pam Houston's first novel is
this: She turns out to be as good at fiction as she is at
nonfiction. . . . All but the coldest hearts will find Sight
Hound an astoundingly deep exploration into the
desires of humans to connect."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Postfeminist toughness and post-hippie sentiment
are the alternating currents in this wry, tender
novel."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
PAM HOUSTON divides her time between
her ranch in Colorado and the University of
California at Davis, where she is director of
the Creative Writing Program.
