My Dog Tulip by J.R. Ackerley

4.0

i liked seeing ackerley's crumudgeony nature confront the bewildering and often heartbreaking task of trying to take care of tulip (whose personality was deftly, poignantly rendered). his attention to tulip's sexuality, his tender descriptions of her vagina, of her awkward, painful trysts, made me uncomfortable, but i'll even tolerate a dogfucker if he writes well.
