I love my dog. Every once in a while, I feel utterly heartbroken that I will most likely outlive him.

Melancholy fiction for a dark season: here in the Northeast U.S. we're in the midst of a particularly miserable January. I'm looking for some contemporary fiction that echoes the bleakness of the weather. What extraordinary books have you curled up with recently that are elegiac, darkly funny or otherwise
wintry in tone?
