At a run-down brothel in Caudal, Spain, the prostitutes are collecting
stray dogs. Each is named after a famous male writer: Dante, Chaucer,
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 Cambó,
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.
