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).

Kevin Kling is a well-known playwright and storyteller, and his commentaries can be heard on NPR's All Things Considered. His plays and adaptations have been performed around the world. He lives in Minneapolis.
