Garth chats with The Oregonian about Fathers and Sons, the Politics of Tree Climbing, being a Celebrity Author, and – of course – about Enzo.
Garth Stein, author of A SUDDEN LIGHT.
In a recent interview with The Oregonian, Garth discussed his creative process and factors influencing the subject material contained in his long-awaited new novel, A Sudden Light.
In this interview, Garth discloses his strategy in waiting to revise his 2005 play Brother Jones until after he’d dedicated years to touring his global sensation The Art of Racing in the Rain. A Sudden Light is the beautifully layered result of that protracted, if dedicated creative process.
Other themes touched upon in the interview are Garth’s tree-climbing hobby, his profound identification with the Pacific NW, and – of course – literature’s favorite dog, Enzo. Who will play Enzo in the film version of The Art of Racing in the Rain? Read Garth’s answer here.

I can’t wait to read it. Would you happen to know if they are any translated versions of your works in Spanish?
I am a Spanish teacher. I’d like to kill two birds with one stone: sharpen my second language skills while enjoy your work. Thank you. D. Murphy
Sarah Cyr says
The Art of Racing in the Rain has a Spanish version. You could call or go into your local independent bookstore and I’m sure they could order it for you. It’s called El arte de conducir bajo la lluvia.
