I stumbled on this book after hearing about it on NPR about dog themed tales. The narrator of this story is Mr. Bones, a mutt belonging to a homeless man, Willy Christmas. I don't think you have to be a dog lover to enjoy Timbuktu. It's a departure from the typical story. You see the world from the point of view of a dog. At times the narrative is a bit confusing but I've read books that are far more difficult to follow. At the end of the story, I wished I could take Mr. Bones home with me.
