Writing "Treeman" posed unusual challenges. How do you stay close
to Mark, the oldest Gospel, without the dialogue most fiction
relies upon? Dogs don't talk, after all. How do you stay true to
canine senses and behavior, like red-green color-blindness and
perpetual interest in food, through these shattering events? How
would this scarred, abused mongrel react to the miracles, the snap
of torches, the roar of crowds? What would he make of the one on
whom it all hinged: Treeman? The dying dog's blunt viewpoint
demands we rethink stories many of us have heard since childhood.
But "Treeman" is also about aging without whining or backbiting, a
supreme witness to a life lived longing to trust and to be trusted.
