Synopsis

Fiction. DIVORCE, DOG STYLE takes place in one day. A beleaguered womanizer, Grafton, attempts to win back an old girlfriend, Caroline, whose son has recently died in a wind turbine accident. Yet there are other men and ex-lovers in line before him, including a veterinarian who is coming to her house to put down Caroline's dog with the "two-injection method." Flook's iconic blend of black comedy, biting wisdom, and characteristic lyricism explores the raw sanctuaries where women and men connect and disconnect.
"Flook's vivid and exhilarating writing puts her in the front ranks of new American Writers."--Annie Proulx
