Readers, especially pet owners and lovers, will delight in Dog Days and Nights, Humorous Adventures of Esmerelda Perkins-Book I, as told by Esmerelda and written by best-selling author Sheila Carnegie. Esmerelda Perkins is an eccentric, aging and rather befuddled fictional character who lives on Old Toad Island, an imaginary island near Green Frog Island, off the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Esmerelda gets herself into all sorts of predicaments and loves to share her thoughts about life and her hilarious stories of adventure and travel. In this short book, Dog Days and Nights, the first in the series, Esmerelda is inadvertently drawn into a friend's home, off-island in nearby Victoria, to care for three cats, three birds, and to 'supervise' the breeding of a female Shiloh Shepherd dog in an 'amorous state of being'. The characters of the various critters are revealed, as are the dynamics of their interactions with both humans and each other. In spite of the problems Esmerelda encounters, you are sure to smile, and perhaps guffaw, at how she handles the situation, as she has learned to do. This story is based on actual experiences, although Esmerelda may have taken liberties in its telling, as she frequently does. NOTE: The ebook version of Dog Days has already hit the best seller list in two categories, several days running.

Adding some 20 percent to the original content, this is a completely updated edition of Steven Weisenburger's indispensable guide to Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Weisenburger takes the reader page by page, often line by line, through the welter of historical references, scientific data, cultural fragments, anthropological research, jokes, and puns around which Pynchon wove his story. Weisenburger fully annotates Pynchon's use of languages ranging from Russian and Hebrew to such subdialects of English as 1940s street talk, drug lingo, and military slang as well as the more obscure terminology of black magic, Rosicrucianism, and Pavlovian psychology. The Companion also reveals the underlying organization of Gravity's Rainbow--how the book's myriad references form patterns of meaning and structure that have eluded both admirers and critics of the novel. The Companion is keyed to the pages of the principal American editions of Gravity's Rainbow: Viking/Penguin (1973), Bantam (1974), and the special, repaginated Penguin paperback (2000) honoring the novel as one of twenty "Great Books of the Twentieth Century."
