Five short pieces by the author of Trainspotting include the tales "Rattlesnakes," in which three young Americans lost in the desert are accosted by two armed Mexicans; "The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park," in which a Korean chef and Chicago socialite bond over a missing dog; and the title story, in which an ex-pat English bar owner struggles to balance conflicting priorities. Original.
A collection of five short pieces includes "Rattlesnakes," in which three young Americans lost in the desert are accosted by two armed Mexicans, and "The DOGS of Lincoln Park," in which a Korean chef and Chicago socialite bond over a missing dog.
In "Rattlesnakes" three young Americans are lost in the desert, when one suffers a snakebite to his genitals. A Korean chef and a Chicago socialite find themselves connected through the disappearance of a pooch named Toto in "The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park." In "Miss Arizona" a down-and-out director finds inspiration in the wife of a late indie director. The novella, "The Kingdom of Fife," brings us to Scottish turf with dog fighting, a gangster father, a decapitated head, and being good at what we Yanks call foosball. And, in the title story, an ex-pat English bar owner living on the Costa Brava tries to keep all of his balls in the air: maintaining his barmaid's weight at the sexual maximum, attending to the youthful Persephone, and dodging Spanish killers.
