Lives of the Monster Dogs by Kirsten Bakis
A group of dogs converge on New York in the early 21st century. They make intelligent conversation, walk on their hind legs and wear ultra-formal clothes of the type favoured in 19th-century Prussia. Where have they come from? And what is the strange illness that threatens them with extinction?
Kirsten Bakis was born in Switzerland to parents of Estonian origin and grew up outside New York where she now lives. After graduating from New York University, she attended the prestigious Iowa University Writer's Workshop where she was taught by, among others, Saul Bellow. She is 28 years old and works part time as a secretary in a small church in Manhattan.
