Dog Star and Other Stories

by Josephine Carson

"This work shines with the rare quality of vision. I wish Josephine Carson were a benevolent deity, presiding over us all. Her nuanced, passionate attentions to character informs each of these stories with mercy and light." --Frances Mayes, author of under the Tuscan At Home in Italy "These are lovely stories. Subtle, intelligent, and artfully nuanced, they play on the page like music." --Molly Giles, author of Creek Walk and Other Stories and Rough Translations "Josephine Carson's stories are filled with amazing surprises and insights into intimate relationships. She knows the way our minds work-men's women, and children's too, and has a fine ear for dialect. There are brilliant moments of humor, sorrow and consolation. She writes in a classical style, a rare delight in an age of exhibitionists, but she is also capable of post-modern experimentation. Every thoughtful lover of fiction should have this treasure of a book." --Charlotte Painter, author of Conjuring Tibet and Gifts of Age
