false 7035536 1 <B>Denis Johnson meets David Mitchell in this darkly beautiful and daringly creative novel by two-time Booker Prize nominee Jon McGregor. <P></P></B>On a cold, quiet day between Christmas and the New Year, a man’s body is found in an abandoned apartment. His friends look on, but they’re dead, too, their bodies found in remote corners of the city. Victims of heroin overdose, they’re in the shadows, a chorus keeping vigil as the hours pass, paying homage as their friend’s body is taken away, examined, investigated, and cremated. <P></P>All of their stories are laid out piece by broken piece through a series of fractured narratives—of lives fallen through the cracks, hopes flaring and dying, love overwhelmed by a stronger need, and the havoc wrought by drugs, distress, and the disregard of the wider world. These invisible people live in a parallel reality, out of reach of basic creature comforts, like food and shelter. In their sudden deaths, it becomes clear, they are treated with more respect than they ever were in their short lives. <P></P>Intense, exhilarating, and shot through with hope and fury, <I>Even the Dogs </I>is an intimate exploration of life at the edges of society—littered with love, loss, despair, and a half-glimpse of redemption. 7284032 book 2010 total:2|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:1| 2 5 30 0 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Tue Dec 15 08:20:17 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 15 08:20:17 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Sat Dec 12 18:48:29 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 12 18:48:35 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Sat Dec 12 12:47:09 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 12 12:47:09 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Fri Dec 11 07:14:41 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 11 07:14:41 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Wed Dec 09 08:11:24 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 09 08:11:24 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 1 0 false Tue Dec 08 18:18:20 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 08 18:18:20 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Tue Dec 08 09:47:32 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 08 09:47:32 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Mon Dec 07 17:11:23 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 07 17:11:23 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Sat Dec 05 15:24:01 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 05 15:24:01 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Fri Dec 04 21:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 21:00:00 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Fri Dec 04 14:20:50 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 14:20:50 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Wed Dec 02 10:32:11 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 02 10:32:11 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Tue Dec 01 06:56:13 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 06:56:13 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Mon Nov 30 20:46:13 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 20:46:13 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Tue Nov 24 15:09:45 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 15:09:45 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Mon Nov 23 07:45:21 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 07:45:21 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Sat Nov 21 19:53:16 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 19:53:16 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 4 0 false Thu Nov 19 19:34:49 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 19:34:49 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Tue Nov 17 16:51:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 16:51:00 -0800 2009 7035536 1596913487 9781596913486 2 0 2.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7035536-even-the-dogs 0 0 false Thu Nov 12 22:32:39 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 22:32:39 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=7035536
