There certainly is dog fighting in A FEAST OF SNAKES. This
book is unbelievably nasty and brutal--a real gem. My closest
comparative approximation is to say that it reads like a mean
Flannery O'Connor on speed and whiskey, without any of that
redemptive stuff mixed in. If you're in NY, the Strand had a
whole stack of them for $3.95 about two months ago. Doug
