This week we are discussing The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. The story is separated into three books. Book one has six chapters. There are only 10 to 15 pages per chapter. We are going to talk about Book One this week.
To start the conversation here are some questions to ponder. I cannot wait to hear your responses. Since this is a family blog please keep the language clean.

The prose style of The Dog Stars is clipped, terse, often fragmented.

Why would Heller choose this way of writing this particular story? In what ways is it fitting?

Was anyone offended by the language?
