Carry the Dog
Stephanie Gangi
I just love @gangi_land's responses to The @OldsterMag Questionnaire! I asked her because I adored her latest novel, "Carry the Dog," and identified with its 59-year-old protagonist. Highly recommend. https://bookshop.org/books/carry-the-dog-9781665111164/9781643751276 https://oldster.substack.com/p/this-is-66-novelist-stephanie-gangi
