LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC FICTION

The first novel from Joseph O’Neill since NETHERLAND.

‘O’Neill, in this book, has come of age as a novelist … a comic masterpiece … as mordantly funny as the best of stand-up comedy … Superb’ John Banville, New York Review of Books

In 2007, a New York attorney bumps into an old college buddy – and accepts his friend’s offer of a job in Dubai, as the overseer of an enormous family fortune. Haunted by the collapse of his relationship and hoping for a fresh start, our strange hero begins to suspect that he has exchanged one inferno for another.

A funny and wholly original work of international literature, ‘The Dog’ is led by a brilliantly entertaining anti-hero. Imprisoned by his endless powers of reasoning, hemmed in by the ethical demands of globalized life, he is fatefully drawn towards the only logical response to our confounding epoch.

Recensione

‘I’m in love with this book … It’s superbly written and very very funny and also very true’ David Aaronovitch

‘On page after page, O'Neill can still dazzle as a compellingly intelligent writer. Everywhere you look, there's a shimmering portrait of modernity waiting to be glimpsed … [An] ambitious, lucidly thought-through novel’ Guardian

‘Our only truly international writer … Breathtaking … O'Neill's writing reflects the individual's concerns in our desolate modern world in prose that is illuminating, amusing, sometimes beautiful, but never showy … A joy to read … Supremely insightful and intelligent … You can open the book anywhere and find sparkling sentences that perfectly describe what is momentarily in focus … Original and brilliant’ Irish Independent

‘O’Neill has become a writer extraordinarily attuned to the global and the post-national … Like “Netherland”, THE DOG has captured the zeitgeist … This is where O’Neill feels at home: telling the stories of those who cease to belong’ Telegraph

‘Sharp, sad and sometimes hilarious, this is a fable for our times’ Daily Mail

‘A mercilessly absurd portrait of the city’s wealthy residents … Our narrator is like Woody Allen trapped inside a Kafka novel … Brilliant … One of the wittiest critiques of modern, materialistic life that you’ll read for a long while’ The Times

‘The best comic novel I’ve read for ages’ The Scotsman

‘Enraged, brutal, witty and at times brilliant’ Sunday Times

‘Erudite and deliciously comic … like a mix of Martin Amis and Thomas Bernhard …With consummate elegance, THE DOG turns in on itself in imitation of the dreadful circling and futility of consciousness itself … Its wit and brio keeps us more temporarily alive than we usually allow ourselves to be’ New York Times Book Review

‘A mordantly funny and, surprisingly for these times, deeply moral tale of lost love and economic betrayal’ John Banville, Observer, Books of the Year

Dall'autore

Joseph O’Neill is the author of three previous novels, ‘This is the Life’, ‘The Breezes’ and Man Booker-longlisted ‘Netherland’, as well as a memoir, ‘Blood-Dark Track’. He lives in New York.

4,0 su 5 stelle Smartly-Written and Witty
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 settembre 2015
Recensione Vine di un prodotto gratuito( Cos'è? )Acquisto verificato
Joseph O'Neill's The Dog is a smartly-written and witty story, but it really is not for everyone. The narrator is a disaffected expat living in contemporary Dubai. He tells his story sounding as if you are just catching up with him over a drink somewhere. He left New York after an ugly romantic breakup, lured to working in Dubai by a wealthy old friend. There is not much action in this novel--just excellent writing with wry, laconic observations. The Dog is a literary novel in every sense of the word. If that is what you are looking for, pick this one up, it is excellent. Enjoy!

5,0 su 5 stelle Inside the Mind of a man at the Brink!
Recensito in Canada il 20 aprile 2015
Acquisto verificato
To start with, you must be a lover of etimology. You must own, or have access to proto-indo European dictionary-translator and have on hand, or at your feet a thesaurus (for starters) Joseph O'Neill will do the rest. This author loves his words. He adores the English language. He must also have been a sailor in a previous incarnation because he ties his characters up in so many knots of introspection on an hourly basis as to simply overpower the reader with verbiage. The book is funny! O'Neill has a way of capturing the very essence of absolutely everything ... distilling every painful, over wrought encounter, real, or imagined to a palatable bite sized morsel. His protagonist embodies every foible and then some any human has ever experienced and come out in on piece (sort of) Women reading this book will be moved by his attempts at equalitarianism and gender equality at great expense to the management.

der Roman verdient zwei Bewertungen: fünf Sterne für die Beschreibung der Arbeit und der Beziehungen des Familien-Anwaltes und der Situation der Expats in Dubai und auch für die Beschreibung der Beziehung eines solchen zu sehr reichen Menschen. Und etwa zwei Sterne für die Beziehungskiste in NY, wegen der der Held die Flucht nach Dubai angetreten hat. Könnte man ca. 80 Seiten herauskürzen, käme ein klarer 5-Sterne-Roman aus der Arbeitswelt heraus.

3,0 su 5 stelle Disappointing overall with touches of class.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 dicembre 2014
Acquisto verificato
In parts this book is dazzlingly good but quite dull overall. I found myself skipping whole paragraphs. As a Dubai resident I was looking forward to reading The Dog and there were some very astute observations but mainly it recycled the rumours and apocryphal stories that swirl around the Emirate. This is not so surprising since the author says he visited Dubai twice to do his research. However, there were some wonderful touches; the multimillionaire Lebanese boss having his overweight son weighed to determine whether he should receive an allowance or not. But, a lot of it just seemed to fizzle out. The book fizzled out actually as if O'Neill had run out of interest.

Still trying to figure out what is this book about. Yes, it is about the moral ramblings of a guy who lives in Dubai. Anything else?
