A Guide to Animal Behaviour - Douglas Glover - Bog

Fast on the heels of his widely acclaimed comic novel, The South Will Rise at Noon, Douglas Glover has produced a stunning volume of stories which breaks all the fictional moulds. In this new collection, Glover introduces an astonishing array of characters who inhabit a world which is wayward yet full of marvels, from an 18th-century pioneer who believes he is being persecuted by witches to a born-again Christian from Kentucky who loses his memory and ends up finding true love in glitzy Bel Air. Whether contemplating the mystic Worm of Ouroboros or the colours of Alabama's Gulf coast, he infuses his writing with energy, exuberant imagery and amazing turns of thought.
