The Inugami Mochi

Jessamyn Smyth

4.9/5 (15689 ratings)

Description:"All the many dead things cycling around us, images long gone, etched on the paper beneath. When we love deeply, profoundly, we do not know where one of us ends and the other begins. We do not know when one of us dies and the other lives on. We hope to not be the one living on. We hope to be the dead. As it should be. Here is Cecily and here is Dog and here is how they become one, teaching us how not to just see the world around us but to look at it with wonder. To abandon ourselves to it. To go into the woods and walk without fear of what we might encounter. What you must do is encounter. Seek out the guts as Dog would. Find yourself there. The Inugami Mochi is not just a beautiful book, it is an achievement. I hope you will cherish these words as I do."--Myfanwy CollinsAuthor of The Book of Laney, Echolocation , and I am Holding Your Hand"Jessamyn Smyth's short story "A More Perfect Union" made me laugh and twanged my tear ducts all at the same time as it impressed me with the sheer brilliance of the writing. That's the kind of writer she is. Oh, and she is a lover of dogs and of human beings, separately, and even more, together. And a connoisseur of what women want in life."--Alicia OstrikerAuthor of The Volcano Sequence, The Imaginary Lover, A Woman Under the Surface, The Old Woman, the Tulip, and the Dog , and more." The Inugami Mochi is a work of interlocking stories about a spiritual relationship between two beings who are profoundly one and profoundly separate. ...It is a testament to Jessamyn Smyth's enormous talent as a writer that she makes Dog believable as what he is, a dog, and as a being of spiritual dimensions, and Smyth is able to do this without taking flight into magical realism or falling into ...sentimentality. The language of these stories is grounded in everyday realities... There are also precise and wonderful descriptions of the emotional landscapes ... as well as descriptions of nature in New England and western Canada that one can see and smell and taste. The stories move back and forth in time, sometimes objectively, sometimes only within Cecily, while remaining anchored in the present tense... Above all, The Inugami Mochi haunts the reader long after the book ends. Jessamyn Smyth creates the reality of Cecily's relationship so well that it takes over your own reality and makes you wish you could join the one she shares with the dog-god."--Julius LesterPhotographer and author of Lovesong: Becoming a Jew, The Tales of Uncle Remus, Let's Talk About Race, Othello: A Novel, The Autobiography of God, The Hungry Ghosts , and more.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
