A review by callies
Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs by Lina Wolff
5.0
A charming novel with beautiful prose that weaves together the tales of several women deftly, giving an artful portrayal of their lives. The narrator writes while largely leaving herself out out of the plot, which means that she remains a mystery. So too do the motivations of all the women. It is only the men who are seen in stark contrast, but none of these portraits are flattering.
What links the tale together is the charismatic Alba Cambó. She is an alluring figure but manages to remain elusive even after 297 pages. And that seems to to be the point; women have more to them than the men surrounding them give them credit for.
Subtle and revealing, this is a stunning portrayal of the life of the five women from very different backgrounds with very different ideas. A joy to read.
