The Sit Boy

THE SIT BOY is a novel about a man whose life falls apart in all the usual ways — the wife leaves, the house empties, the lawn mower gets sold to a stranger for forty dollars — and then reassembles in the most unusual way imaginable. He sells everything, hits the road, and discovers that dog sitting in other people’s homes is the strangest, funniest, and most transformative way to find out who you actually are. Think big mansions with bigger views, a wine-red SUV nobody respects, a parade of unforgettable dogs, wildly entertaining dating disasters, and the vast silence of the American West slowly reshaping a man who thought he had it all figured out. It’s a story about finding yourself — and a home — in other people’s homes.
