{"product_id":"the-dog-catcher-and-other-raz-elmaleh-9781507780008","title":"The Dog Catcher and other stories","description":"Gold drops from the sky into the hands of a lazy beachcomber. A dog catcher falls dangerously in love with an animal-rights extremist. A fly precipitates the worst catastrophe in human history. A brainless nonperson goes missing and embarks on an impossibly rich life. An ego-driven businessman courts disaster by seeking revenge for old hurts. And on the eve of the Apocalypse, four horse-like characters try to cross a Los Angeles under martial law. *** Raz Elmaleh's writing has been described as 'modern noir', or suspense-drama with a touch of fun. It's humorous, hilarious to some, disturbing to others, and always with a twist. *** The stories in this collection span many flavors, from realistic to bizarre, from minimalist to expansive, and from wryly optimistic to darkly foreboding. Pick any story and step into a reality almost like this one. Well, almost. *** \"...simultaneously funny and tragic. A rare and good thing! Would I read Raz Elmaleh's stories if I didn't know him personally? Absolutely.\" - Joshua Samuel Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raz Elmaleh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507780001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507780008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.36d","brand":"Raz Elmaleh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459147444479,"sku":"9781507780008","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22d6c0a8-cc24-4b34-bd17-6031ef8d2ff0.jpg?v=1777408229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dog-catcher-and-other-raz-elmaleh-9781507780008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
