Page i The Dogs of March "To the list of splendidly crusty New Englanders created by the likes of John Gardner and John Cheever, add the name of Howard Elman, the protagonist of Ernest Hebert's impressive first novel." Philadelphia Inquirer "What makes The Dogs of March a brilliant book is Mr. Hebert's ability to portray ordinary people, the kind of people novelists usually ignore or sentimentalize. He catches them so exactly that one feels a rush of love and recognition, of common humanity." Anatole Broyard New York Times "The Dogs of March is just the book to give to your nice auntie if she thinks New England was invented by Grandma Moses. The first few pages, which evoke a wonderland of junk automobiles, will change her mind in a hurry... A fine first novel." Minneapolis Tribune "Novels such as this one make me wonder how many other books the author has written because when a 'first novel' is this poised, this sure of its balance and depth, chances are it's not a first book at allonly the first published... This story seems simple enough but, of course, in the hands of a skillful writer, simplicity speaks with eloquence... The book is rich in detail. The prose goes light and dark with imagery in this contemporary story which seems, often, ancient. A seasoned, thoughtful book." Boston Globe "What makes The Dogs of March so interesting is Ernest Hebert's ability to see the lives of a New Hampshire working-class family in a way that is clear and whole and to make them into the material for a novel that is both compassionate and amusing." Chicago Tribune "A neatly constructed and deeply-felt first novel... a book that you ought to read." Alan Cheuse Los Angeles Times
