Sinopsis

Brian Swann&rsquo,s previous collection, Dogs on the Roof (MadHat Press, 2016), was praised by Jackson Lears for being &ldquo,venturesome, witty, delightedly understated and frequently compelling,&rdquo, while Andrei Codrescu, calling it &ldquo,an elegant suit of a variety of threads,&rdquo, placed it on his &ldquo,A-list of the blooming philosophical hybrids of the last decade.&rdquo, The San Antonio Express-News said that it was &ldquo,a fascinating miscellany ... replete with brilliant observations ... insightful, witty and outlandishly entertaining.&rdquo,The present collection ranges from &ldquo,real&rdquo, to &ldquo,surreal,&rdquo, from long short stories to short short stories, to prose-poems long and short, concluding with an essay on the sacred. The book stretches from New York and New Mexico to Italy and England, with a cast of characters that includes a gifted dwarf, hippies, Navajos, and the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles, as well as a talented parrot, a talking robin, a shaggy dog, a neurotic horse and a law case involving rats. There is also a cameo appearance by the soul.
