Críticas
"'The Dog Fighter is the most exciting debut I have read by an American writer since Geoffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicides. It is a remarkable achievement.' - Geoff Dyer, author of Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It 'The Dog Fighter is a remarkable feat of cultural ventriloquism, an ecstasy of love, violence, history and language... Bojanowski's narrator... is one of the most profoundly felt characters in modern fiction. Seeing his world, through his eyes, will change the way you look at ours.' - Dale Peck"
Reseña del editor
Told through the searing voice of its unnamed narrator, THE DOG FIGHTER is the story of a young man drifting through the badlands of California and Mexico following the death of his mother. After landing in a remote city in Baja, the protagonist is lured into an exclusive society where men stand face to face with dogs in a makeshift ring to fight them for money and fame. With an uncommon display of strength, skill and fearlessness, he gains notoriety overnight. When he falls in love with the beautiful mistress of the town's most feared businessmen, he ignites a dangerous combination of jealousy, greed, lust and betrayal that culminates in a fight not only for his life but for the future of the city. Written in a voice that is at once haunting, lyrical and immensely powerful, The Dog Fighter heralds the arrival of a brilliant young writer.
