«Yellow Dog» is the contemporary fiction novel by Martin Amis, published by Vintage in paperback (358 pages, in English).
After being assaulted in a London pub, Xan Meo suffers a personality change that makes him unrecognizable. A sensationalist journalist, a gangster, a porn magnate and a corpse on a plane circulate, while the King of England faces a scandal with his daughter Victoria. Identity, morality and violence intertwine in this satire.
The work was originally published in 2003; this Vintage edition is from 2004. The novel was longlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize.
Will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction, especially those who appreciate Martin Amis's social satire and black humor.
