Book summaryA group of dogs arrives in New York in 2008, refugees from a town that retained its 19th-century Germanic culture. A young woman befriends them, and after discovering that an incurable illness threatens them with extinction, she witnesses the lavish party that may be the dogs' last act. Winner of the 1997 Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. Media reviews"New York is colonized by giant talking canines in newcomer Bakis's wry variation on the traditional shaggy dog story....Serious enough, but also funny and imaginative: a vivid parable that manages to amuse even as it perplexes and intrigues." |
