A seductive older widow from New York’s Upper East Side is gifted a most spiteful dog from the local pound. She dubs the scrawny and inelegant creature Dillon—a name fit for a lion.

As she falls in love with a debonair and quite well-connected magnate, the dog quickly becomes embroiled in a fight for survival—and for the lady’s heart.

Once abandoned and now enjoying the comforts of a loving home, Dillon is ugly and ill-tempered. But he is the most spirited one. Is he an angel—a real angel?

It’s a love story, an adult family drama, and a courtroom saga all in one, with a New Yorker’s sense of humor––and its surprise ending will revive pangs of long-lost heartbreak that exist in all of us.

DILLON is a funny, sad, and heartwarming story with a dab of preternatural flair. Laugh and cry—it’s a must read.

“Silverberg’s debut hits the same bittersweet notes that endear other animal-centric books, such as John Grogan’s 2005 memoir Marley & Me, to readers. . . . [Dillon] pays special attention to setting, painting the change of seasons in New York and the stiff atmosphere of the Upper East Side, in particular, to perfection. . . . A pleasant story for dog lovers with a captivating setting and charismatic lead.” —Kirkus Reviews

A six-month vacation from human beings, especially the species called children. They can cause a lot of problems, you see.

I’m not necessarily saying that sons imagine having sex with their mothers in a flight of fancy. Well, maybe once in a while…but anyway, she’s still got what she’s got.

To be honest, I didn’t have separation anxiety when I raised Jason and Rose. I was glad they finally went off to school.

I’ve never used that dildo. For the record, Jason, that dildo was a present from Dad. We were sexually active until two days prior to his death.

In fact, it’s more difficult to find one street lamp which is not his in America. He’s that big.

Rather, it showed a sense of pride and intensity as if it were a warrior, a survivor, a prizefighter.
