Summary of Dogs and Other Short Stories
Dogs and Other Short Stories is a collection that offers audacious and wonderful characters in sparse, lyrical prose. In the title story a vapid teenage girl meets an enigmatic young man while traveling on the subway with a dead dog in her suitcase, while another profiles an elderly man's visit to the emergency room of a chaotic hospital to fix in others what has already gone in himself, and in yet another, a young woman reacts to a recent breakup in a delirious and violent fever dream. Through these stories lives are saved and lives are ruined and sometimes the stakes are much smaller but there is no denying that Dogs is the collection of a first time writer's work that is often beautiful, absurd, consequential and sometimes profound.Short Stories Books
