J. Wynn Rousuck: "Please Write"

Join us for an evening with author and WYPR theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck.
About this Event

An epistolary novel with a twist, Please Write chronicles the correspondence between Vivienne, the alter ego of a recently widowed Cleveland artist, and Zippy, a mixed-breed terrier rescued off the streets of Baltimore. Zippy’s letters recount her antics and ambitions, along with her literacy lessons, taught by the household’s noble Boston Terrier, Winslow. The letters change and enrich the lives of the correspondents, as well as Zippy’s owner, Pamela, a harried journalist whose life is unraveling.


Combining the canine viewpoint of A Dog’s Purpose with the poignant style of The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society, Please Write delivers a funny and endearing account of coping with heartbreak and loss through the power of imagination and love.
