Product Description
Book Description
Douglas Glover is at his versatile best in this new collection of short stories. Urbane, stylish and slightly off-beat, the stories touch on the lives of a wide variety of human beings, whose only shared experience is the age in which they happen to meet: an abbot and a tramp sharing a seat on a Mexican train, a retarded farm boy and his incontinent dog, alienated singles in the American southwest, North Americans living-and dying-in an Indian ashram.
About the Author
Douglas Glover<br />Born in 1948 on a tobacco farm in Ontario, writer and critic Douglas Glover is the author of many works of fiction including Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon (1985). He currently lives and teaches in upper New York State.

Poignancy and Humor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon (Paperback)
I heard Mr. Glover's "Why I Decided to Kill Myself and Other Jokes" read during a college radio show, and I promptly engaged in a hunt for other works by him. I found "Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon," and these stories failed to disappoint me. His wickedly humorous and profound style rules his pen. If you enjoy Calvin and Hobbes, there exists a very good chance you will treasure Douglas Glover.
