Overview

""Dogs Chase Cars"" details the downturn in the newspaper industry through the eyes of a longtime Kansas City sports columnist, who is driving to work on a November Friday, expecting to be the latest casualty in a business that has shed far too much blood in recent years. It takes place over a single day, but flashes back to those seminal moments - from covering a World Series game in 1989 that was halted by a 7.1 earthquake to accidently breaking the story of a Hall of Fame quarterback's rumored trade while doing his business at a urinal - that stand out in a storied career. It's a tale of changing times, changing technology and the ignorance and arrogance of the industry's decision makers, who assumed the profits of the past would never wane.

Reviews

""What sets this book apart is its narrative voice: raw yet eloquent, sarcastic yet sincere. The author's ability to balance the personal with the professional, the past with the present, results in a story that is at once deeply individual and broadly relatable. Readers will appreciate the honesty with which he confronts his own missteps, as well as the dignity he accords to those who shaped his life - from his tough, working-class dad to a larger-than-life high school sports editor."" -- Read by Heart ""Patrick Sangimino's prose is stunning - raw yet refined, witty yet profound. He writes with a unique voice that blends sarcasm and sincerity in a way that feels authentic and grounded. Through J.P.'s reflections, we explore not just the fall of an industry, but themes of purpose, identity, ambition, and the quiet heartbreak of watching the world you built slowly disappear."" -- Jithendra Jithu ""On a personal note, this book made me think about how quickly life changes and how it feels to see something you love slowly slip away. I could relate to J.P.'s feelings of pride, loss, and holding on to old memories. It's a story for anyone who's chased dreams, faced changes, and looked back on their journey with both happiness and a little ache in the heart."" -- S .
