Summary

In "Dogtown," Mabel Osgood Wright offers a captivating narrative that intertwines the lives of dogs, humans, and nature within the quaint yet richly detailed setting of a fictional village in New England. The prose showcases Wright's keen observational skills and affection for the natural world, marked by a vivid, pastoral style that evokes the charm of early 20th-century American literature. Combining realism with elements of pastoral fiction, Wright delves into themes of companionship, the bond between humans and animals, and the social dynamics of village life, ultimately creating a poignant exploration of both community and individual identity. Mabel Osgood Wright (1859-1934) was a pioneering figure in American literature, known for her deep affinity for nature and animals, which profoundly influenced her writing. A member of the Connecticut Audubon Society, her experiences as a naturalist and her love for dogs are palpable throughout this work. Her previous literary endeavors, including biographies and essays, laid the groundwork for her to craft a narrative that reflects her appreciation of wildlife and her views on humanity's place within it. "Dogtown" is a delightful read for anyone who cherishes the bond between humans and animals or has a fondness for evocative, nature-infused storytelling. Wright's insights into the symbiotic relationship between species will resonate with modern readers, making this book a timeless exploration of empathy and connection against the backdrop of a pastoral landscape.

    On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
"Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
"Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
"Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio
