About this title

Synopsis

The debut collection of an O. Henry Award– winning short-story writer, Dogwalker assembles its cast from society’s misfits: the disabled and the blind, the hapless and the troubled, and all species of mutants—including a giant slug that almost breaks up a marriage, a preponderance of three-legged dogs, and a family of circus freaks who look remarkably like cats. Here, too, are hexes, voodoo, refrigerated dead puppies, and an unforgettable game involving a chainsaw. The stories in Dogwalker are narrated with surreal tranquility, with a pronounced lack of amazement at life’s vicissitudes and an affable acceptance of its strangest circumstances.

With a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue and a sensibility as unique as his subjects, Arthur Bradford peels back a surface layer of depravity and violence to reveal a world of surprising gentleness, compassion, and innocence. In these twelve strikingly provocative and hilarious stories, he emerges as an utterly original new voice in contemporary fiction.

About the Author

Arthur Bradford’s fiction has appeared in McSweeny’s, Esquire, and The O. Henry Awards Anthology. His first feature film, a documentary called How’s Your News?, is scheduled for release on HBO/Cinemax in spring 2002. He used to live in Austin, Texas, but now he lives in Vermont.
