5.0

A raw, unruly, sad, hilarious little motherfucker of a book. Short Dog is a grim and brilliant masterpiece which I already can't wait to read again.

"(Dan) Fante was my God!" you might hear a young pretender to Bukowski shout... If there was any chance this kind of shit would get published ever again.
