Product Description

Kevin Kling, best known for his commentaries on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered and his storytelling stage shows like Tales from the Charred Underbelly of the Yule Log, delivers hilarious, often tender stories to readers everywhere with his first book, The Dog Says How. Kling’s autobiographical tales are as enchanting as they are true to life: hopping freight trains, getting hit by lightning, performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia, growing up in Minnesota, and eating things before knowing what they are. In the comical yet poignant title story, Kling straddles the world of the ordinary and one rivaling Dante’s inferno as he learns how to use voice-recognition software after a life-threatening motorcycle accident.

Reviews/Praise

“His compelling stories can be just the jolt you need while waiting in traffic.”
—Minnesota Public Radio

“Having grown up in Minnesota, Kling can evoke frigid temperatures in a sentence or two; he's similarly skilled at emotional gear-shifting, drawing laughter just a few paragraphs before eliciting tears in essays like Prayer and Rio. Kling's collection will please any fan of his radio home, or of sister Public Radio programs This American Life and A Prairie Home Companion'.”
—Publishers Weekly
