In what style of writing is the book The Art of Racing in the Rain?

The
Art of Dancing in the
Rain by , is written from an interesting point of view.
The author
uses a the stylistic technique of having a narrator as the storyteller but in
this
novel the storyteller is Enzo, a dog facing the end of his
life.

The reader
has to decide how to interpret what Enzo
says since his words reflect the ideas of a dog
including his heightened
sense of smell. Enzo says, "And yet, how I yearn for the moment my
soul
inhabits one of these poorly designed bipedal bodies and I, too, assume the health
concerns
of a man!"

When asked about writing in this
style, Garth Stein responds
to the question by saying,

Honestly, I didn't think too
much about that.
Enzo believes he has a nearly human soul, so it was more about writing from
the
point of view of a soul who is trapped in a world in which he can't
communicate or interact as
he would like. Secondarily, it was fun to think
from a dog's eye view!
