The Dog Says How

The Dog Says How
- Essays, Humor, Minnesota, Story Telling
In this wonderfully original collection of autobiographical stories, popular storyteller and NPR commentator Kevin Kling deftly weaves pitch-perfect scenes of childhood antics and adulthood absurdities with themes of overcoming tragedy, forging lifelong friendships, and living with disabilities in a complex world.
Â
In â€œCircus,â€ Kling recollects how his love of boats, animals and adventure inspired him to join a traveling circus troupeâ€”but it was the all-you-can-eat buffet that cinched the deal. In â€œDogs,â€ Fafnir, Klingâ€™s new wiener puppy, leads him into the world of show dogs, those resembling â€œcleaning implementsâ€”perfumed, powdered, and pampered.â€ In the poignant title story, Kling straddles the realm of the ordinary and one rivaling Danteâ€™s underworld as he learns how to use voice-recognition software after his near fatal motorcycle accident.
Â
These and many more classic and never-before-told tales are collected in The Dog Says How. In Klingâ€™s universe, â€œthe mundane becomes magical, the fantastic becomes accessible and through it all his profound sense of curiosity about the world transforms the everyday to the timelessâ€ (Queen Anne News).

Kevin Kling is a well-known playwright and storyteller, and his commentaries can be heard on NPRâ€™s All Things Considered. His plays and adaptations have been performed around the world. He lives in Minneapolis.
