Dog Woman Theo Dorgan If this book catches youThis startlingly original debut delves into the surreal, concealed moments of a young womanhood. Helen Quahs voice is in part a deep calling into the complex distances between mother and daughter, in part a twisted venture into the contradictions of romance. Dog Woman, named after the series of artworks by Paula Rego, contorts language, opening up a playfully dark and often humorous space of the fantastical and otherwise unexplained.
