Its initial publication in 1998 garnered admiration from \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, who praised it as, \"fast-moving, mysteriously compelling tale that has the dream quality of Kafka.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Bridegroom Was a Dog\u003c\/em\u003e begins with a schoolteacher telling a fable to her students. In the fable, a princess promises her hand in marriage to a dog that has licked her bottom clean. The story takes an even stranger twist when that very dog appears to the schoolteacher in real life as a dog-like man. They develop a very sexual, romantic courtship with many allegorical overtones -- much to the chagrin of her friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 6.8 x 4.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47228919415033,"sku":"9780811220378","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bi9rckdUMDNucEY5ckI4TlFtSEUzdz09.webp?v=1768296631","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-bridegroom-was-a-dog-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
