Dogwalker: Stories
Tender and satiric, hilarious and humane, Dogwalker plunks readers down in a land of misfits and the circumstantially strange-where one young man buys drugs from a dealer who locks his customers in a closet, while another lands a cat-faced circus freak for a roommate, and yet another must choose between his pregnant wife and the ten-pound slug he's convinced will bring him a fortune. And throughout these stories moves a divinely inspired collection of dogs: three-legged, no-legged, dogs that sing, that talk, and that give birth to humans. Brilliant, perplexing, and moving, this is a daring debut that strolls along society's fringes and unearths strange beauty among its misfits

Praise for this book
"Funny and huge-hearted. . . . Reminds us how much smarter the back of the brain is than the front." -Esquire "The most outlandish and energetic writer I can think of." -David Sedaris "[Bradford's] desire to talk about the heart in a way that's not navel-gazing, but rather earnest and real, burns through. Dogwalker soars. . . ." -San Francisco Chronicle
"Anyone who's ever wondered at the weirdness of the world will be grateful for these offerings." --Entertainment Weekly "Bradford conjures weird modern-Gothic worlds that obey the carnival logic of dreams. His stories are stealthily tender and strangely moving." -Bookforum
