Prize Winner Stew With Small Dogs

You’ll enjoy the whirlwind ride of these 6 short stories and assorted poems. Dapkins is the creator of a genre known as Social Science Fiction. Here his gonzo fiction takes you from “Church of the Bunny” to “The Train,” from “The Story of Thomas Mann” to “Bite Me – An American Story,” from “Pandemic” to “Big Buddha” … each a wild literary journey.

Dale Dapkins served in the Peace Corps in Turkey in the late sixties. Apprenticing to an Armenian merchant, he became an independent antique oriental rug dealer. Writing came later. His first novel American Broccoli and Dr. Breast was published in 1988. He won the Grand Prize in the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition in 1999 and again the following year, a never-repeated feat.
