A Dog's Head

Jean Dutourd's A Dog's Head is a wonderful piece of magical realism, reminiscent of Rushdie and Borges. With mordant wit, Dutourd presents the story of Edmond Du Chaillu, a boy born, to the horror of his bourgeois parents, with the head of a spaniel.

Riassunto

Reminiscent of Voltaire, Broges and Kafka, "A Dog's Head" is a piece of realism. It tells the story of Edmund Du Chaillu, a boy born, to his bourgeois parents' horror, with the head of a spaniel. Edmund must endure his schoolmates' teasing as well as an urge to carry a newspaper in his mouth.
