Product Information
T homas Healy was a drunk, a fighter, sometimes a writer, often unemployed, no stranger to the police. His life was going nowhere but downhill. Then one day he bought a pup--a Doberman. He called him Martin. Gradually man and dog became unshakable allies, the closest of comrades, the best of friends. They took long walks together, they vacationed together, they even went to church together. Martin, in more ways than one, saved Thomas Healy's life. Written with unadulterated candor and profound love, this soulful memoir gets at the heart of the intense bond between people and dogs.

PRAISE FOR I HAVE HEARD YOU CALLING IN THE NIGHT "This book is everything Marley & Me is not: smart, acerbic, laconic, with nary an ounce of treacle dripping through Healy's muscular prose. A.

A. "-- Entertainment Weekly "Healy's memoir tells how the love he came to feel for Martin led him to quit drinking and fighting and make a new life. Healy's tone is whimsical more often than sentimental, but that doesn't prevent him from concluding that Martin was #145;a gift from God.'"-- The Christian Science Monitor, Up until he was nearly 40, Glasgow native Healy was living a tough, downward-spiral kind of life. He was a drinker, a fighter, and a mostly unemployed writer, and he was living with his mother, the only person who could put up with him. Then two things happened that changed his life: someone bought the film rights to one of his short stories, and he bought himself a Doberman pinscher puppy, whom he named Martin, after the man who bought the film rights. The offbeat, heartwarming relationship between the author and his companion--pet seems to miss the point entirely--makes up the bulk of the book, with frequent side trips into the past to show us Healy as he was before Martin (both Martins, actually) reversed the course of his life. Although evidently meant to appeal to readers of the memoirs of Frank McCourt (and his many imitators), the book stands firmly on its own two feet, and offers a revealing lesson in how quickly, and unexpectedly, a life can change., PRAISE FOR I HAVE HEARD YOU CALLING IN THE NIGHT "This book is everything Marley & Me is not: smart, acerbic, laconic, with nary an ounce of treacle dripping through Healy's muscular prose. A. "'e" Entertainment Weekly "Healy's memoir tells how the love he came to feel for Martin led him to quit drinking and fighting and make a new life. Healy's tone is whimsical more often than sentimental, but that doesn't prevent him from concluding that Martin was 'e~a gift from God.'e(tm)"'e" The Christian Science Monitor, PRAISE FOR I HAVE HEARD YOU CALLING IN THE NIGHT "The tone is searingly honest and direct, calm and clear-eyed. The subject, however, is explosive. It concerns the battle of an exceptionally talented man with a damaged spirit for survival in a hostile universe. It dramatises the battle between the use of alcohol and violence as props and the search for love, however it can be found. In the end, Thomas Healy has written a deeply tender book, which is likely to become a classic of its kind."--Colm Tóibín, Novelist Healy was a raging, brawling drunk until, on a whim, he adopted a Doberman pinscher puppy he named Martin. He nursed Martin through illness and wounds; Martin in turn stood guard over him while he lay passed out in fields. Their bond, and the slight but persistent duty of caring for Martin enabled Healy to very fitfully begin to recover from his alcoholism and propensity to violence and gently nudged him toward an understanding of himself and God. Healy embeds the story in a memoir of his life in the slums of Glasgow, his relationship with his parents, his conflicted attitude toward the church and his many loves, from a youthful encounter with a whore with a heart of gold to a mature affair with a boss who fired him after he makes clear that Martin is more important to him than she is. "It was not right that a man should need a dog as much as I had needed him," Healy acknowledges, but he makes no apologies that "for whatever reason, my best pal possessed four legs instead of two." In Healy's heartfelt prose, this eccentric friendship becomes the core of a moving meditation on the mysterious nature of redemption., PRAISE FOR I HAVE HEARD YOU CALLING IN THE NIGHT "This book is everything Marley & Me is not: smart, acerbic, laconic, with nary an ounce of treacle dripping through Healy's muscular prose.
