Description

Toronto: Coach House Books, 2015. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. Later Printing. 8vo. 172 pp. Trade paperback format. Lightly rubbed on the corners with a flat uncreased spine; no interior markings. It begins in a bar. The gods Hermes and Apollo argue about what would happen if animals had human intelligence, so they make a bet that leads them to grant consciousness and language to a group of dogs staying overnight at a veterinary clinic. Suddenly capable of complex thought, the dogs escape and become a pack. They are torn between those who resist the new ways of thinking, preferring the old 'dog' ways, and those who embrace the change. The gods watch from above as the dogs venture into unfamiliar territory, as they become divided among themselves, as each struggles with new thoughts and feelings....
