Introduction to ‘Familiaris’

David Wroblewski’s latest novel, ‘Familiaris’, takes readers on a captivating journey back in time, two generations before the events of his acclaimed debut, ‘The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’. This new work explores the lives of John Sawtelle and his wife Mary as they lay the foundation for creating a unique breed of highly sensitive dogs.

The Setting and Characters

The story begins in 1919 with John Sawtelle about to be fired from his job at the Kissel automotive company. Recently married, John discovers a farm for sale near Mellen during a trip to the north. With an innate love for detail and efficiency, John enlists his friend Elbow, a woodworker, and his frenemy Frank, an addicted, wounded veteran, to join him and Mary on this new venture. The characters’ lives and relationships unfold against the backdrop of Wisconsin’s rich landscape and history.

A Blend of Drama and Calm

‘Familiaris’ comprises 980 pages of alternating high-drama scenes and calmer narrative passages. The story includes thrilling moments like the depiction of an epic forest fire in Wisconsin, involving the birth and survival of Ida, a magical sprite who appears at key moments. However, the novel also experiences narrative lulls, which might raise questions about character development and future plot revelations. Despite these calmer periods, Wroblewski’s commitment to blending historical and fictional elements keeps the readers engaged.

Legacy and Literary Craft

Similar to ‘The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’, ‘Familiaris’ weaves an elemental tale of family, ambition, and the drive to create something extraordinary. While some questions remain unanswered, likely setting the stage for potential future volumes, Wroblewski’s love for Wisconsin’s landscape and historical context infuses the narrative with vividness and authenticity. His deep connection to the setting, combined with a strong narrative voice, makes ‘Familiaris’ a noteworthy continuation of his literary journey.
