Reviews
"Melancholia's Dog reminds us of how much we share with the beasts around us, how much of our 'mortality and vulnerability' speaks to theirs. It is a lesson that transcends boundaries, both of species and professional idiom, and Alice A. Kuzniar does her audience a distinct service by reminding us of it." (Modern Philology) "This is probably the first time that a scholar of Alice A. Kuzniar's ability has shown the courage to tackle the deeper aspects of our relationship with dogs.... Our dogs are metaphors for ourselves, something that many of us may have long suspected, but because the idea had never been articulated, or not fully, perhaps we did not appreciate the fact. Or perhaps we didn't want to face it. Thanks to Kuzniar, we know it now." (London Review of Books)"
