One Man, A Dog, One Hundred Thirty Horses

Sounds like a commercial for a brand new high horsepower car model doesn't it? Zoom zoom. Mazda.

Like the deep throaty voice in said advertisements, we are lent a sense of trust and attention by the NPOV in the novel. A third-person and a second-person point of view sifts through 'archives with photographs' (3), and 'snapshots' (4); as if anything oldtimey, 'sepia and soiled' is nostalgic.

Side note: the pages of the actual book are also sepia. A little darker and it'll resemble something out of a time capsule.

To be continued.
