Christopher Woods is aging gracelessly in Louisville, KY, USA. He lives in a box and shares space with his faithful/failing typewriter, Clarabelle and fluffy, albino blind/deaf creature, Spot, who is sixty years old and rumored to be the world's oldest dog, if that is indeed its species. This is the first novel by Mr. Woods and assistants, Clarabelle and Spot but is, in all likelihood, their last song and dance.
