SUMMARY:Odd Pages Book Club: The Lives of the Monster Dogs
DESCRIPTION:The dog days of summer are upon us at Reverie Books’s Odd Pages Book Club\, and we’re discussing the obscure novel\, The Lives of the Monster Dogs by Kirsten Bakis Discussion starts at 7:00 pm on Monday\, August 24th. We will be discussing the \nMONDAY\, AUGUST 24th\n7:00 – 8:00 PM \n5330 MENCHACA RD\, AUSTIN\, TX 78745\nBYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) \nMention the book club when you purchase this month’s selection to receive 10% off this title at purchase. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, and you do not have to have finished the book to attend. That said\, we will be discussing spoilers. \nABOUT THE BOOK \n\nAfter a century of cruel experimentation\, a haunted race of genetically and biomechanically uplifted canines are created by the followers of a mad nineteenth-century Prussian surgeon. Possessing human intelligence\, speaking human language\, fitted with prosthetic hands\, and walking upright on their hind legs\, the monster dogs are intended to be super soldiers. Rebelling against their masters\, however\, and plundering the isolated village where they were created\, the now wealthy dogs make their way to New York\, where they befriend the young NYU student Cleo Pira and—acting like Victorian aristocrats—become reluctant celebrities. \nUnable to reproduce\, doomed to watch their race become extinct\, the highly cultured dogs want no more than to live in peace and be accepted by contemporary society. Little do they suspect\, however\, that the real tragedy of their brief existence is only now beginning. \n\nCRITICAL ACCLAIM \nWinner of the 1997 Bram Stoker Award \nABOUT ODD PAGES BOOK CLUB\nWe read weird and wild books from all over the globe across a diversity of genres. Step outside your comfort zone and experience the strangeness that’s found in the Odd Pages.
