A disgruntled young academic arrives in Taiwan to begin a new teaching job. Before settling in, he lets himself get seduced by a woman in line at a bank, who turns out to have nefarious designs on such newcomers. Back at her apartment, she changes him into a Scotch terrier mutt, adding him to her kennel of former conquests, all now dogs.
A madcap satire of expat life in Asia.
[This is a substantially re-edited 2017 edition of the original novel.]
An engrossing read . . . A remarkable and high-spirited performance. It's the sort of book that could overnight easily become a local cult item. -Taipei Times
Recreates the streets of a vibrant, tawdry and little-known Asian city. Future critics will consecrate Mader as the Defoe of Dogdom. -Ryu Makoto, author of The Hospitality of Circumstance and Caught in the Act
Mader is . . . an endlessly fascinating eccentric, and absolutely everything he puts his hand to is very well worth reading. -Bradley Winterton, author of Gladovia
