Tender and satiric, hilarious and humane, Dogwalker plunks readers down in a land of misfits and the circumstantially strange-where one young man buys drugs from a dealer who locks his customers in a closet, while another lands a cat-faced circus freak for a roommate, and yet another must choose between his pregnant wife and the ten-pound slug he's convinced will bring him a fortune. And throughout these stories moves a divinely inspired collection of dogs: three-legged, no-legged, dogs that sing, that talk, and that give birth to humans. Brilliant, perplexing, and moving, this is a daring debut that strolls along society's fringes and unearths strange beauty among its misfits

Review:
"Funny and huge-hearted. . . . Reminds us how much smarter the back of the brain is than the front." -Esquire

"The most outlandish and energetic writer I can think of." -David Sedaris

"[Bradford's] desire to talk about the heart in a way that's not navel-gazing, but rather earnest and real, burns through. Dogwalker soars. . . ." -San Francisco Chronicle

"Anyone who's ever wondered at the weirdness of the world will be grateful for these offerings." --Entertainment Weekly

"Bradford conjures weird modern-Gothic worlds that obey the carnival logic of dreams. His stories are stealthily tender and strangely moving." -Bookforum
From the Publisher:
Praise for Dogwalker by Arthur Bradford: 'These are stories short enough and perfect enough to pass directly to whomever is sat next to you, on the train or in bed, and watch them as they read it.' - The Independent

'I’m filled with joy when I read his work' - Zadie Smith in The Independent on Sunday

'The maddest collection of short stories you’ll read all year'- I-D

'They’ll leave you with your tail wagging and yapping for more'- Tatler

'Brilliantly written vignettes of the underworld'- Marie Claire

'They have a humour and charm that, without preaching, subtly makes the reader aware of how unnatural our own attutide can be to nonconformity and physical difference'- Time Out
