Small-time Arizona filmmaker Jerome Doggman has a plan: lure a desert-dwelling fundamentalist sect into one of his scathing exposes on religion.
Things never go as planned.
The Dogg (as he's known) is killed but comes back to life in the body of the subject of his expose, a fundamentalist teenage boy. Vehemently anti-religious in his previous existence, the Dogg must now endure life as the subject of his own contempt.
To make things worse, he's smitten with the teenage boy's older sister, Florence, who cares for her brother with strained, loving patience as he kicks and screams against the austere religious world he finds himself bound to.
Meanwhile, the Dogg's elusive memories return to him in confounding pieces, and the men who killed him the first time slowly sense something in the wind: that the Dogg isn't really dead.
Moon Dogg embraces the confounding, enchanting mysticism we can find only in the great expanses of the American desert.Taking place along the Ajo Highway, which runs through the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation of southern Arizona, this allegorical tale of Jerome Doggman's extraordinary journey explores themes of empathy and atonement, all through the mystifying world of reincarnation.
Under a desert moon, the saguaro cactus dance and the thunderbirds hover above, as the Dogg's need to remember who he was in his previous life takes on real urgency: His killers are closing in, and they want the Dogg dead again.Moon Dogg is a profound tale of reincarnation, laced with an abundance of rich Indigenous-American lore! goodreads Moon Dogg has history and culture, ideologies and facts, all mixed together in a cocktail concoction of remarkably unique story prose that is unlike anything readers will surely experience anytime again soon.
