To Say Nothing of the Dog

In rummaging through the nooks and crannies of animal (and other) life, James Roderick Burns' debut flash fiction collection explores what it means to be human. From grandiloquent raccoons, entrancing a whole community in the stadium, to melancholy terriers dissecting the motivations of their masters - while taking apart something a little more tangible - To Say Nothing of the Dog goes to places longer fiction wouldn't dare: into the gloomy, revealing guts of things, where foibles come to light and polite conventions are reduced to their essence. By turns comic and dark, these 38 compact tales punch well above their weight, and introduce a startling new voice to contemporary fiction.
