A Series of Dogs

Beschreibung

Literary Nonfiction. Some human lives can be measured in dogs. Writer/musician John Armstrong is such a person, and in A SERIES OF DOGS, he takes the measure of his own, now at nine dogs' lives and counting. A hilarious, perceptive and moving memoir that is really about the dogs that have added texture and meaning to his own journey, A SERIES OF DOGS introduces the reader to a cast of some of the most memorable characters to come along in Canadian literature in some time--all of them dogs.

After dropping out of high school, he played in the legendary first-wave punk band the Modernettes. An accomplished journalist, Armstrong won multiple awards for critical writing, feature writing and hard news during his 15-year tenure at the Vancouver Sun.
