Completely re-formatted by Anders Nilsen, this new volume will be the definitive edition of this major work. Dogs & Water chronicles a piece of a lonely journey, without origin or destination. A young man wandering a nameless path has only a stuffed bear as a companion, which inertly endures his desperation, anger, and musings along the way. The landscape is cold and bleak with few landmarks, and offers only precarious encounters with animals and armed men. Offered this month in Previews is Nilsen’s Don’t Go Where I Can’t Follow, an excellent companion to this new book.
