Sobre este áudio
At a run-down brothel in Caudal, Spain, the prostitutes are collecting stray dogs. Each is named after a famous male writer: Dante, Chaucer, and Bret Easton Ellis. When a john is cruel, the dogs are fed rotten meat. To the east, in Barcelona, an unflappable teenage girl is endeavouring to trace the peculiarities of her life back to one woman: Alba Camb, writer of violent short stories, who left Caudal as a girl and never went back. Mordantly funny, dryly sensual, written with a staggering lightness of touch, the debut novel in English by Swedish sensation Lina Wolff is a black and Bolaño-esque take on the limitations of love in a dog-eat-dog world.
Perfect for fans of Cho Nam-Joo's Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982.
Lina Wolff (1973 - ) is a Swedish author. Having lived in Spain and Italy for several years working as a translator, Wolff arrived on the literary stage in 2009 with Många människor dör som du (Many People Die Like You) and won the prestigious Vi Magazine Literature Prize in 2012 for her debut novel, Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs. She has since won several other literary awards, including the August Prize for Fiction and the Aftonbladet Literature Prize.

[A] filmic offering... channelling the spirit of Pedro Almodóvar. A thoroughly invigorating novel.
-- Lucy Scholes, The Independent
Wolff has had enough of the big swinging dicks of masculine literature. [Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs is] clever and challenging and distinctive.
-- Galen O'Hanlon, The Skinny
Wolff's prose has a quality of 'otherness' entirely in keeping with the surreal atmosphere of the novel. This strange, provocative debut sits well alongside the work of Roxane Gay, Katherine Angel, Maggie Nelson, Zoe Pilger and Miranda July... a cool, clever and fierce addition to the canon of modern feminist literature.
--- Sarah Perry, The Guardian
A book that you just want to give people and say: take a look at this, read it, experience it. I would have liked to devote the entire review to quoting sentences and paragraphs from the novel - it is almost as if that were the only way of adequately conveying the gravity, depth and lightness of Lina Wolff's prose, her tender yet pitiless character descriptions, her distinctive but also natural way of piecing together the novel's disparate parts into a shimmering whole.
