Synopsis

Lovesickness is brutal, all-encompassing and feels limitless. But what if there was a crazy way out of it? Alma Mathijsen effortlessly crosses the line between reality and dream in this tragicomic story and tells wonderfully whimsical of love, despair and oblique ideas that you can only come to in emotional delirium.

In the novel "I don't want to be a dog", a woman decides to let herself be transformed into a dog to be taken up by her ex-boyfriend as a four-legged friend - finally feel his closeness again, love him unrestricted and without hesitation. But the happy views make them forget some unpleasant side effects of transformation. Is it perhaps better in the end to be able to feel like a person, even if it sometimes drives us mad?
