The dog's last walk (and other pieces)

"Week after week, for eighteen years, the Booker Prize-winnng novelist Howard Jacobson wrote a weekly column for the Independent, reflecting in inimitable style on the sacred and the profane in turn, the frivoulous and the serious, the deeply personal and the most universal ... As the much-loved newspaper ceases printing, this second collection of Jacobson's columns offers a selection of the witty and thunderous best."--Jacket-sleeve.
