Description
Kim O'Neil's debut collection, Fever Dogs, is a fictional biography of three generations of women. It begins with Jean, a young woman at an impasse, who sets out to create a past for herself by reconstructing the life her mother, Jane, might have lived. As she delves into the story, the lines between fact and fiction blur, and the narrator invents answers to questions she never asked. The book spans nearly a century, with stories that progress backward in time, from Jean's present-day struggles to her mother's past, and ultimately to her own unknown origins. Through this narrative, O'Neil explores the complexities of family history, identity, and the power of storytelling. In Fever Dogs, the boundaries between truth and fiction are constantly tested, as the narrator navigates the fragmented nature of memory and the search for meaning in a life that is both lived and imagined.
