Episode 62: Jonah Reads: Two Dog Stories...Dave Eggers "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned" ...O'Henry's "Memoirs of a Yellow Dog"
Instead of an interview, this episode is dedicated to dogs, as heard from their point of view, not us silly humans. Two short fictions -- both full of action, love of the natural world and humor. Both were pleasures to read. The first story, written by Dave Eggers, is "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned" (2004, from the story collection How We Are Hungry). The second story is by the renowned short story master O' Henry. "Memoirs of a Yellow Dog" was written in 1903. The dialogue is full of colloquial wordplay...from 1903.
