"Combines the cruel humor of Candide with the allegorical panache
of Animal Farm."-Entertainment Weekly "Carol is the most
unappreciated great writer we've got. Carmen Dog ought to be a
classic in the colleges by now ...It's so funny, and it's so keen."
-Ursula K. Le Guin "A rollicking outre satire...full of comic leaps
and absurdist genius."-Bitch "A wise and funny book."-The New York
Times "This trenchant feminist fantasy-satire mixes elements of
Animal Farm, Rhinoceros and The Handmaid's Tale...Imagination and
absurdist humor mark [Carmen Dog] throughout, and Emshwiller is
engaging even when most savage about male-female
relationships."-Booklist "Her fantastic premise allows Emshwiller
canny and frequently hilarious insights into the damaging sex-role
stereotypes both men and women perpetuate." -Publishers Weekly The
debut title in our Peapod Classics line, Carol Emshwiller's
genre-jumping debut novel is a dangerous, sharp-eyed look at men,
women, and the world we live in. Everything is changing: women are
turning into animals, and animals are turning into women. Pooch, a
golden setter, is turning into a beautiful woman-although she still
has some of her canine traits: she just can't shuck that loyalty
thing-and her former owner has turned into a snapping turtle. When
the turtle tries to take a bite of her own baby, Pooch snatches the
baby and runs. Meanwhile, there's a dangerous wolverine on the
loose, men are desperately trying to figure out what's going on,
and Pooch discovers what she really wants: to sing Carmen. Carmen
Dog is the funny feminist classic that inspired writers Pat Murphy
and Karen Joy Fowler to create the James Tiptree Jr. Memorial
Award.
