Wonderdog

"Wonderdogreads as if narrated by the ne'er-do-well, incorrigible, and brilliant wastrel cousin of Walker Percy's Binx Bolling. But Inman Majors has a brilliant voice all his own--cockeyed, very funny, and deeply cognizant of the tender mercies. This book's a hell of a read. I loved it." - Brad Watson, author ofThe Heaven of Mercury "Inman Majors shows why politics will drive a governor's ex-spouse into hiding in a house trailer, and their wiseacre son crazy. A knowing and funny book." - Ann Richards, former governor of Texas "Wonderdogreads like Charles Portis cross-pollinated with full-tilt Barry Hannah, but Majors's voice is his own, and his picaresque tale of Dev DeGraw and his adventures among the various highlifes and lowlifes of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, linger in the mind long after the last page is turned."--William Gay, author ofThe Long HomeandProvinces of Night "Wonderdogis a hilariously unruly novel in the fine tradition of Padgett Powell--smart, Southern, inventive, and mean. Majors has written a seriously funny book." - James Whorton, author ofApproximately Heaven "I ventured a cautious nose between the covers ofWonderdog, and immediately this voice, this outrageous voice, reminded me, for some reason, of Old Jones in A Confederacy of Dunces. Maybe I shot a look over my shoulder a time or two--okay, maybe I gawked--at the characters parading by, but I wasn't about to get up until the crazy tale was told." - Sonny Brewer, author ofThe Poet of Tolstoy Parkand editor ofStories from the Blue Moon Cafeacute;Majors, Inman is the author of 'Wonderdog', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312331382 and ISBN 031233138X.
