Dog Days by Emily Labarge
Dog Days considers why we tell stories the way we do, and how we might tell them otherwise. Combining memoir and essay, cultural criticism and literary experiment, it begins with a personal trauma but looks outwards as much as inwards for answers.“An incandescent book, a landmark in how to bring language to bear on the unspeakableBeautiful, uncompromising, rigorous and totally original.” Olivia Laing
“Where the worst shocks of life threaten to undermine thought, imagination and literary form, Dog Days patiently, ferociously, insists on new ways to think, imagine and write. I plan to re-read it every time I feel my mind go soft. I found it a challenge, an inspiration—a very cool book.” Amber Husain
