  According to Max Disher, an ambitious young black man in 1930s New York, someone of his race has only three alternatives: "Get out, get white, or get along." Incapable of getting out and unhappy with getting along, Max leaps at the remaining possibility. Thanks to a certain Dr. Junius Crookman and his mysterious process, Max and other eager clients develop bleached skin that permits them to enter previously forbidden territory. What they discover in white society, however, gives them second thoughts. 
  This humorous work of speculative fiction was written by an unsung hero of African American literature. George S. Schuyler (1895–1977) wrote for black America's most influential newspaper, the Pittsburgh Courier, in addition to H. L. Mencken's The American Mercury, The Nation, and other publications. His biting satire not only debunks the myths of white supremacy and racial purity but also lampoons prominent leaders of the NAACP and the Harlem Renaissance. More than a historical curiosity, Schuyler's 1931 novel offers a hilarious take on the hypocrisy and demagoguery surrounding America's obsession with skin color.

  Who let the Dawgs out? UGA in the mid-seventies; the Dawgs were loose. No dawg catcher in Athens could keep pace with this pack of Red Clay hounds and the tall tales they lived at the University of Georgia! 
  The radical sixties had ended. The wide open seventies followed. You saw the movie Animal House. Jeff Head lived it. Return to the University of Georgia campus from 1974 to 1977. You will be transported to the corner of Baxter Street and Lumpkin Street, cater-corner from old Stegeman Hall. A stone’s throw from the UGA Bookstore; and a short stroll to historic Sanford Stadium. You will be treated to tall tales, all true. Like nothing you have read since Lewis Grizzard, enjoy THE PLUSH TAIL, OBNOXIOUS NINE, BANANAS FOSTER, STREAKING UGA STYLE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. If you like a good belly laugh, this book is for you. If you are a wallflower, get an old copy of Ladies Home Journal. But for the guys and girls who enjoy living life to the fullest, get ready for a full body laugh. 
   “There’s only one way to be a DGD...and that’s to pick up a flea or two...and Jeff’s stories are Dawg-gone funny...and awfully close for comfort for every UGA grad...and parent! A carefree, fun read that's sure to take you down memory lane...or at least Baxter,Lumpkin, and Milledge! Enjoy
