In 1961, Marilyn Monroe, newly separated from Arthur Miller, resides in New York and takes acting classes with Lee Strasberg. Influenced by her ex-husband, she dedicates herself to Russian literature and aspires to be a respected actress. Her best friend is Maf, a Maltese terrier given by Frank Sinatra, who accompanies her to therapy, the beauty salon, the Payne clinic, Mexico, and various social gatherings with figures such as Natalie Wood and George Orwell. Andrew O'Hagan, following the tradition of Aesop and Cervantes, uses the narrative voice of a dog to satirize American culture of the 60s, addressing profound themes about the human and canine condition.
Andrew O'Hagan is a Scottish novelist and non-fiction author. Three of his novels have been nominated for the Booker Prize and he has won several awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
