Robert Boswell reads “Death in the Woods”
From Death in the Woods (1933)
“The dogs were waiting for me to die as they had waited for the old woman that night when I was a child, but when it happened to me I was a young man and had no intention whatever of dying.”
Robert Boswell is the author of five novels including Century’s Son and The Geography of Desire, three short-story collections (The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards, Living to Be 100, and Dancing in the Movies), and a collection of essays. His cyberpunk novel Virtual Death (published under the pseudonym Shale Aaron) was a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award. The recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, he teaches creative writing at the University of Houston.
