Dogland
"A compelling, absorbing, hard-edged work, lit by glimpses of another more fantastic reality," Kirkus Reviews . Told through the memories of his adult son, this critically acclaimed coming-of-age tale chronicles Luke Nix's struggles to open Dogland, a 1950s Florida roadside attraction. Building the complex is the least of Nix's problems: it seems that his outspoken rejection of racial segregation does not sit well with the locals. "Rich with complex characters and timeless themes." -- Publishers Weekly .
