"A Dog Called Demolition" takes you on a wild ride through the life of Danny: a man who can hear the thoughts of a highly philosophical dog, aptly named Demolition. Danny's existential crisis takes on a four-legged form, making him question life, love, and the very nature of dog biscuits. While most dogs play fetch, Demolition throws philosophical conundrums that Danny must grapple with.
As is often the case in Robert Rankin's literary universe, the story takes us through absurd adventures, populated with a cadre of unusual characters, including a semi-omnipotent granny. If you're reading this while perusing SFcrowsnest, you might think that getting a dog would be far less complex; then again, perhaps Demolition is the canine Socrates we never knew we needed.
