Anybody else read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by Davis Wroblewski?
If not, you might be interested in picking it up. At the surface, it is a book about a family dog breeding farm, and how an idylic farm life of a father, mother, mute son (and of course the dogs) becomes "interrupted". Some parts are even written from a particular dog's point of view, which I thought was very cool.
The theme of the book is nothing new (Hamlet came to mind early on), but what may be of interest to this forum, and what is lingering the most with me, is the writer's uncanny understanding of the nature of a psychopath--the one who does the interrupting, and who ultimately destroys.
