"There's just something about that dog . . ." Until now,
little else could be said about George Rodrigue's
mysterious, wildly popular icon. Finally, in his own words,
the Blue Dog Man speaks out, shedding light on his
creation-going beyond the story of Blue Dog's early
incarnation to describe in rich detail both the dog's
storied Cajun roots and its brilliant, pop-infused universe
of today. Blue Dog has become a touchstone of
contemporary American culture, winning accolades from U.S.
presidents, Hollywood stars, and ordinary people alike.
Woven into this iconic character are the skeins of Cajun
history-and, more specifically, the dreams, fears, and
passions of its creator. Rodrigue: Blue Dog Man takes
readers on an unprecedented narrated journey to the heart of
a new Blue Dog generation, tracing the evolution of the Blue
Dog from its origins in Louisiana legends to its myriad
forays into the dazzling, multichrome modern world. Along
the way, Rodrigue reflects on everything from Christianity
and the afterlife to Renaissance painting, to Jackson
Pollock to Andy Warhol and MTV.
