Garth Stein writes contemporary fiction best known for The Art of Racing in the Rain, narrated by a dog named Enzo. Enzo observes the life of racing driver Denny Swift through marriage, parenthood, bereavement and a difficult custody dispute, interpreting human behaviour through what he has learned from television and motor racing. The racing metaphor becomes a way for Enzo to understand patience, control and events that cannot be predicted. Stein has written other novels, but this book remains the clearest guide to his readership and style. The Art of Racing in the Rain is the defining Stein novel for readers seeking animal-centred family fiction, with Enzo's non-human narration shaping how ordinary human conflict is understood.
