Reminds me a little of Tea and Sympathy, but funnier. A vocabularian's delight. Also reminds me a little of the Chet and Bernie stories. Chet, a dog, is the narrator of exploits with his human detective, and narrates well but with canine limitations. Slouching is narrated by Tony, 15, a widely read human. I enjoyed De Vries' "Mackerel Plaza" and "Blood of the Lamb" 50-60 years ago, figured I'd take a second look.
