Barking at Dogs - Signed

$25.00

Johannesburg in the seventies and eighties. A family piles into the car for a Sunday soaking in the steaming pools of urine and chlorine in Warmbaths, and years later two student hippies take a dodgy bit of advice and fetch a bag of lion dung from the zoo in the back of a borrowed pickup.

Barking at Dogs is a collection of stories based on Leon Lazarus’s life, coming of age in apartheid South Africa. It’s funny and often rude, and it will get you talking about memory and about how a whole country can lose its way, find a path back, and lose it all again.

Every copy is signed by the author. If you’d like it made out to someone, put their name in the order notes.

Paperback, 194 pages.

Leon Lazarus is an author, artist, and creative director who lived in Orange County for many years and now commutes in from San Diego.

I’ll keep writing if you keep reading.
