Hi,
David Wroblewskis first novel Edgar Sawtelle takes some effort in the early chapters, but if one is patient, it becomes an addctive page-turner. In the prologue. a nameless armed serviceman seeks out a herbalist in Pusan, South Korea, to procure a deadly poison. The year is 1952. The purpose of the poison is left unstated.
With chapter one the reader finds himself in the backwoods of northern Wisconsin. Now it is 1919. The grandfather of the eponymous hero whimsically buys a piece of property from a man named Schultz, who had tried without success to make a living as a dairy farmer. John Sawtelle married, began with careful eugenics to raise a breed that became known as the Sawtelle dogs. This involved transforming Schultzs barn into a kennel. John and Mary Sawtelle also reared two sons.
Claude and Edgar Sawtelle were as different from one another as night and day. When their widowed father retired and moved to town, Edgar, whose name was abbreviated to Gar, stayed to run the kennel and produce, and train more of the much sought-after Sawtelle dogs. Claude left, they thought for good. He joined the military and served in Korea.
The title character is the son of Gar and Trudy, who married in their nid-thirties. After two miscarriages, Edgar is born mute but capable of hearing and otherwise normal. At about the same time, one of the Sawtelle dogs whelped and produced a female puppy named Almondine. Young Edgar and Almondine become inseparable while Edgar is still in his crib.
As the boy matures, he and his family master sign language as do all of the dogs. Edgar is able to read and write. He soon learns to help Trudy with the training of the succession of dogs, who respond to his signals as readily as they do to Gar and Trudys spoken commands. Early on, Edgar is assigned the job of naming the dogs using a large dictionary as a source book.
