- Summary
- "The title novella, a wrenching account of the course of one love affair, traces a gentle dog's transformation into a vicious beast as the couple who owns him breaks apart. In "The Happiness Game," a web of tenuous bonds - between a husband and wife and a young woman and her lover - is undermined by black crows and weak hearts, while "Matti" presents a chorus of voices - doctor, nurses, jilted wife, dying husband - that recount a middle-aged man's passion for a fifteen-year-old Lolita.".
- "Wise and deft, tart yet tender, written in supple, beautifully inflected prose, Housebroken navigates the moments of decision, betrayal, longing, and jealousy that torment the souls of wounded lovers everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.
