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"
