"In many ways Let the Dog Drive is an askew detective novel—when a character dies under strange circumstances in Texas, Bud goes to Panhandle to uncover what happened. His strange narration does contain pleasures of the genre: a shootout inside an aquarium; a faked death; another shootout on a chicken farm in Texas... But Let the Dog Drive is also a freewheeling merging of many other genres and concerns— Hollywood, hardboiled novels of the 1930's, Emily Dickinson's white dress, hallucinatory cacti, the Book of Luke... And dogs."
