| Plot Summary of Outside the Dog Museum |
|---|
"What do you want your gravestone to say? Harry Radcliffe, award-winning architect and lover of women, wants his to be unique and extraordinary. He wants his gravestone to read, "The man who built the Dog Museum." However, this epiphany comes before he knows what the Dog Museum is...Once Harry meets the Sultan of Saru, strange and miraculous things begin to happen. He sees God in Venasque's music, is saved by a verz in the form of Big Top the dog, and has a flashback to the time he ate someone else's house. What happens when your reality no longer makes sense?"
Colleen, Resident Scholar
