Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs

Set in Caudal, Spain, and Barcelona, this debut novel by Lina Wolff intertwines the stories of prostitutes caring for stray dogs named after famous writers and a teenage girl seeking to uncover her past linked to a reclusive author. With a mordant wit and a light touch, the narrative explores themes of love, identity, and the human condition in a world marked by cruelty and complexity. Praised for its humor and sensuality, the book offers a compelling, Bolaño-esque examination of life's limitations.
