I mean it’s funny, when I first was writing the book, I had maybe the first 40 pages and I gave them to wife to read, she’s always my first reader. So, what’s been like having this book be a part of your life for so many years? It spent, I believe, 161 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and 10 years later here you are talking about its impact and the film that it spawned. The first thing I wanted to ask was, the book came out in 2008. With over six million copies sold since its release, race car enthusiasts got a proper racing book, dog lovers got a quintessential dog book and, even more than that, readers got an emotionally resonant story that spoke to many on a personal level.įlickering Myth spoke with Stein about what he’s learned as a writer since 2008, his thoughts on the movie, the suggestions he made to the film adaptation’s director Simon Curtis during production and plenty more. Stein himself even admits that having the book be a part of his life for so many years is “weird.”īut, the impact of The Art of Racing in the Rain is undeniable. Who knew that when Garth Stein published his book The Art of Racing in the Rain, he’d still be talking about it over 10 years after its release to promote the home video release of the movie it spawned. The book-to-film adaptation is available now on digital, Blu-ray and DVD… Justin Cook chats with The Art of Racing in the Rain author Garth Stein.
