NP - Disgrace

[John Bailey]

I saw this twice in the cinema, taking my girlfriend along the second
time. She (ardent dog lover) called it the saddest film she's ever
seen. I'd say the respect Coetzee affords dogs (without
anthropomorphising 'em) is a very rare thing indeed.

Pynchon likes dogs, and, so far as I know, has never described one coming to harm (though we worry about the ones in Pointsman's lab).
