A BEST BOOK OF THE SUMMER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE BOSTON GLOBE, LITHUB,and SCARY MOMMY
Beloved author and winner of The Story Prize, Paul Yoon, is back with the unforgettable story of a working dog, Etna, who, after a devastating war, embarks on an odyssey in the hopes of returning home.
Set in a fictional country in the present day, this is a story told through the eyes of an ex-military dog, Etna. After surviving years of a devastating war, Etna decides one night to leave the men he has fought alongside for years and return home—to the place where he was taken from when he was young, in the thin but persistent hope that if a home exists for him, it might be there.
Thus begins an exhilarating odyssey told through the eyes of a dog as he traverses across ruined landscapes and fights to survive in a world that, even in peacetime, proves to be just as precarious. Along the way, he encounters other animals and humans who are attempting to figure out how to start again. What makes a life when there is no home to go back to? How do we begin to trust each other again after such profound loss?
This is a novel about the power of an idea, about never giving up, and ultimately a novel about finding hope in the most dire of times.

Commentaires
"Many listeners will surrender to Etna’s singular voice and be drawn into his canine perspective."
"Assuming the voice of a dog might be a challenge for some narrators, but it’s one that Shrader Thomas takes on with ease and authority. Etna is a soldier dog, brave, smart, and resourceful, a protagonist whose determined goal is to find his way back to his original home. That place lies somewhere across a fragmented, war-torn landscape. Much of the where, how, and what is uncertain, limited to a dog’s understanding. The brisk, bleak narrative is brief, hardly more than a short story, but it’s tense and effectively told."
