Description: Author: Jeanne Schinto Format: Softcover Publisher: Atlantic Monthly Press 1994 ISBN: 0871135043 Size: 384 pages A superlative collection of contemporary stories written by some of the most important writers of our time. These stories, selected by short-story writer Jeanne Schinto, are for lovers of good fiction - with a healthy side interest in dogs. The Literary Dog features good dogs, bad dogs, but only great fiction. Among the provocative entries unique to this collection: Michael Bishop's Dogs' Lives, a fictional history with dogs painted into every scene; William Trevor's The Penthouse Apartment, in which an English gentlewoman's sensibilities are ruffled when her dog is assigned blame for the damage wrought when a neighbor's housekeeper hosts an unauthorized party; Stephanie Vaughan's Dog Heaven, which arrestingly begins, 'Every so often that dead dog dreams me up again'; Veronica Geng's satirical Canine Chateau, identified as 'a document from the Pentagon's ongoing probe into a defense contractor's $87.25 bill for dog boarding'; and Mark Strand's inventive Dog Life, about a husband's confession that he used to be a collie.
