In this wonderfully original collection of autobiographical stories, popular storyteller and NPR commentator Kevin Kling deftly weaves pitch-perfect scenes of childhood antics and adulthood absurdities with themes of overcoming tragedy, forging lifelong friendships, and living with disabilities in a complex world.
In "Circus," Kling recollects how his love of boats, animals and adventure inspired him to join a traveling circus troupe-but it was the all-you-can-eat buffet that cinched the deal. In "Dogs," Fafnir, Kling's new wiener puppy, leads him into the world of show dogs, those resembling "cleaning implements-perfumed, powdered, and pampered." In the poignant title story, Kling straddles the realm of the ordinary and one rivaling Dante's underworld as he learns how to use voice-recognition software after his near fatal motorcycle accident.
These and many more classic and never-before-told tales are collected in The Dog Says How. In Kling's universe, "the mundane becomes magical, the fantastic becomes accessible and through it all his profound sense of curiosity about the world transforms the everyday to the timeless" (Queen Anne News).

The Dog Says How
If you've ever heard that sing-song Scandinavian lilt so well known in the upper midwest, you'll hear it in Kevin Kling's writing. You'll identify with his endearing and scathingly honest accounts of the culture and the people that make Minnesota so beloved. From the first time I heard him on Minnesota Public Radio and in his narration at the historical A/V presentation at the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, I knew I liked him. Kling's writing is the type that comes across as conversation with your neighbor on the other side of the fence while you're sippin' a Leiny and cooking brats on the BBQ. The Dog Says How was a fun read and only made me long for the peculiarities that made my time as a transplant in Minnesota so ... well ... nice!
