Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis

5.0

---

This book is stunning in more ways than one and severely underrated. The book gripped me from start to finish and was beautifully paced. The context within it is also very interesting and makes you think deeply about mankind, what makes us us, what makes other creatures such as dogs different, and what brings us all together. It talks about the power of language. It talks about kindness and compassion to animals as a necessity. Will probably come back for a second read at another time. One of the best reads I’ve had all year.
