But the outer world still beckons, so Orri leaves his no-nonsense Lithuanian Jewish mother and his taciturn father, Pabbi, to attend university in Reykjav?k. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pabbi is no stranger to cycles of life and death, growth and destruction. He is pursued by the memory of a volcanic eruption and its aftermath, and so many years of hardscrabble farming have left their mark. Jaded, and no longer able to find joy in his way of life, Pabbi falls into a depression soon after Orri goes away to school. Orri, feeling adrift and aimless at the end of his first semester, comes home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the first time, Pabbi allows Orri to help him run the farm. Despite their conflicting attitudes, Orri and Pabbi must learn to work together. Meanwhile, Orri meets a kindred spirit on the internet: Mihan, a part-time student. Over time--and countless texts and phone calls--their connection deepens. By year's end, Orri must decide whether he wants to--or should--return to university, and what a future with Mihan would hold, if she'll have him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With his signature blend of humor and tenderness, Nathaniel Ian Miller's \u003ci\u003eRed Dog Farm \u003c\/i\u003eis about the bonds forged and tested between family, friends, and lovers--and the act of building a home, together.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathaniel Ian Miller \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the critically acclaimed debut novel \u003ci\u003eThe Memoirs of Stockholm Sven\u003c\/i\u003e, which was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and has been translated into five languages.
