Description
In this powerful suite stories set in Spain, Africa, and North America populated by wild dogs, tattoo artists, and lost boys, Patrick Roscoe's characters - lonely, damaged, nomadic - are outsiders searching for love and acceptance in a landscape whose disturbing darkness is at times illuminated by flashes of beauty. In Roscoe's beguiling laboratory, science meets emotion in experiments that attempt to decipher the forces of love, loss, and longing.
