Review
"'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"
From the Back Cover
The anonymous narrator of this remarkable novel is a young drifter in search of his future. The son of a passionate beauty and gentle doctor, he roams the border between the United States and Mexico, eventually settling in a sleepy Baja town on the verge of transformation.
Here he learns to stand face-to-face with dogs in a makeshift ring, to fight for money and fame, and becomes involved with a powerful and corrupt entrepreneur. But when he finds friendship with a revolutionary old poet and love with a beautiful, innocent girl, everything changes. Caught between the ways of his past and the dreams of his future, he must make a devastating choice that could cost him everything.
Written with bold lyricism and magical flair, The Dog Fighter is an exhilarating tale of brutality and violence, love and wisdom, heartbreak and redemption.
