Kersh (1911-1968) published more than thirty books, including the noir classic \u003ci\u003eNight and the City\u003c\/i\u003e (1938) and \u003ci\u003eFowlers End\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), which Anthony Burgess called \"one of the great comic novels of the century,\" as well as hundreds of short stories which were once ubiquitous in British and American magazines. But though he has been championed by Angela Carter, Harlan Ellison, Ian Fleming, Michael Moorcock and others, Kersh has undeservedly fallen into neglect since his death. This is the first-ever reprint of \u003ci\u003eNeither Man Nor Dog\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), one of the author's scarcest volumes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kersh's novels \u003ci\u003eFowlers End\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Great Wash\u003c\/i\u003e and the short story collections \u003ci\u003eNightshade and Damnations\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOn an Odd Note\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eClock Without Hands\u003c\/i\u003e are also available from Valancourt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \" B]rutal but highly talented ... at least one  story] is ... a little masterpiece, and all of them possess the virtue of being highly readable.\" - J.D.
