I appreciate the magic realism in this short, but powerful story. I read it at one go riding home on the bus after the P of R meeting and continued in front of the fire. I became caught up in the lives of the wolves and how Daniel Pennac plays with time and place. I agree with a previous blogger who found the human part less intriguing, but I think it revives when the boy and the wolf become entwined.
His writing created very strong visual images in my imagination and I found the introduction of the boy, standing and staring, standing and staring, over a mysterious amount of time and weather, captivating.
