Dogrun (book review)

Dogrun (2000) by Arthur Nersesian. A 30-ish woman comes home to find her lazy boyfriend watching TV. He won't talk to her. She fixes him dinner, then gets mad when he won't eat it. A minute later she realizes he is dead. This is how Nersesian's fascinating and beguiling novel begins. It's another of his sharply observed, sometimes humorous depictions of life in the Big Apple, told from a woman's point of view. Grade: B+
