The Dog Looks Happy Upside Down by Meg Pokrass (9780990322122)

Description - The Dog Looks Happy Upside Down by Meg Pokrass

Serious and witty, mystical and dark, these short stories by Meg Pokrass are small windows into another world, a world that is almost this one – but not quite. In her masterful pieces, Pokrass leads her readers on, page by page, enticing them with her beautiful and dream-like language.

Bopping and slamming through these little stories like some genius world tour of the human heart, Pokrass gets a lot done in the shortest spaces imaginable. This collection of tiny, intimate truffles is as powerful as soul-chocolate infused with caffeine.

Each of these 50 stories contains bite-sized glimpses into the lives of everyday people, leaving the reader with the long and lasting effects of a full-length novel. Each chapter delves into relevant life events that require further contemplation. Her language is supercharged and witty, with humour and sadness in approximately equal amounts, revealing the dark truth and reality of the world.
