Dog Christ, is chock full of oddities that will amuse the everyman and the sophisticate alike; an absurdist fantasy that captures the howl n' woof of its day ... and just maybe days to come. It's a strange little book; a fairy tale, perhaps, with a satirical, slightly political and decidedly humanist bent. This a story about love, predominantly: romantic love, parental love, spiritual love, love gone wrong ... all the loves. Love and devotion to ... well, this is where it gets cloudy. The story is told by son Gustav, a wry, observant fellow who suffers from a mysterious ailment of mind and body that has rendered him mute mostly, and wheelchair bound frequently, and isolated for the most part from everyone and the world at large, preferably. He also suffers his parents, who make and spend money, respectively, and who are the verge of losing everything. The cast of characters includes a maid with a split personality, her husband the French chef who can't turn his neck, a former US vice president, a celebrity televangelist, and a large hairy dog. READER BE WARNED: There is some poetry.
