This brilliant translation by Frank Perry won the 2017 Oxford
Weidenfeld Translation Prize and the 2019 Bernard Shaw prize 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 Cambo, 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 Bolano-esque
take on the limitations of love in a dog-eat-dog world.
