My Dog Gave Me the Clap

Referencing the greats of blues music and literature, this is a wonderfully grungy novel about Saul, a failed musician and part-time teacher. Saul is the kind of guy who hangs out in his friend’s backyard planning the best way to acquit his unemployment benefit on booze. He’s also trying to resolve the big questions in life: What thoughts should he put in his negative thought diary? How can he avoid the compulsory office tea break? and What the hell happened at last night’s drunken photo shoot? Discomforting, in your face, compelling, and funny, this book touches upon masculine identity and missed epiphanies.
