Notes

"Pod was riveted by the grotesqueries of everyday life. Animals in their various forms were analogies for their owners. The sight of packs of snarling dogs dragging along the meek-eyed hired help filled him with mirth. It captured the contradictions of bourgeois suburbia— violence masquerading as love."

—Leo Podlashuc, 20191
