Synopsis Talking dogs loom large in Jonathan Carroll's fiction. His debut novel, THE LAND OF LAUGHS, featured a conversational canine, and this premise is one of the many playfully surreal scenarios in THE GHOST IN LOVE: "Like Icelandic or Finnish, ‘Dog' is spoken by very few. Only dogs and dead people understand the language." Ben was supposed to have died the day he brought the mutt Pilot home from the shelter as a gift for his soon-to-be girlfriend, German, on their third date. But he didn't. Since then his ghost has been stuck on earth as heaven sorts out its glitch. From these unusual seeds Carroll nurtures a moving story of love, heartbreak, and the magic of our own pasts.
