The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

Sawtelle, a sprawling novel with epic Shakespearean themes, is the story of a young man who lacks the ability to speak, but communicates with the dogs his family breeds on a kennel in the rural Midwest in the early 1970’s. The story explores the deep connection Edgar has with his beloved Sawtelle dogs, and weaves in a plot of sacrifice, betrayal, and ultimately murder.
