One man's heartfelt and irreverent record of his time on this rock, Zak Sally's unflinchingly veracious book, Like a Dog,is both direct and oblique, which we find rather miraculous consideringthe messy and murky waters of human experience it manages to navigate. Like a Dogis among the few comic book testimonials burdened by the yen tounderstand and articulate the mundane and the magnificent. Don't besurprised if you find yourself laughing and crying as you claw your waythrough each hard fought page!
Of all of Sally's creative pursuits (including a career in music spanning 15+ years), Like a Dogis the one he's been working a lifetime toward. This hardcover bookcollects the best of his acclaimed short stories from the past 15years, created in between band tours and recording sessions, publishedin his Eisner-nominated self-published series Recidivist (the first 2 issues of which are reprinted here in their entirety) and in publications like Mome, The Drama, Your Flesh, Dirty Stories, and more.
Like a Dog spotlights Sally's uncanny ability to createemotional havoc out of claustrophobic images, situations and dialogue.Stories like “Don't Move,” “The War Back Home,” and “Two IdiotBrothers” share little in common on the surface but are united bySally's forbidding style, creating a sense of dread that permeatesalmost every page.
Sally also turns his eye towards nonfiction in Like a Dog,including “At the Scaffold,” the story of the imprisonment and trial ofFyodor Dostoyevsky for allegedly subversive behavior, and “The Man WhoKilled Wally Wood,” a story about Sally's brush with a former publisherof the legendary comic artist (who, contrary to the title of thisstrip, took his own life after a long battle with alcoholism). It alsoincludes two collaborations: “Dread,” written by NEA Fellowshiprecipient, Edgar Award finalist, and O. Henry Award winning authorBrian Evenson (Altmann's Tongue); and "River Deep, Mountain High," co-created with fellow cartoonist Chris Cilla.
Like a Dog also includes extensive “liner notes” by the artist, previously unpublished material, an introduction by John Porcellino (King Cat), and other surprises.
