Publisher's summary

Told through the voice of a canine narrator, Wûf is a surrealist wartime love story set in Turkey in the 1990s. The novel follows Mikasa, a street dog who recounts a tale of tragic wartime love at a kennel where he finds solace in storytelling and cigarettes. A book that took the Turkish literary world by storm, Kemal Varol’s Wûf tackles universal themes of love and loss with both humor and pathos. Translated by PEN/Heim Award winner Dayla Rogers, the novel renders in English a one-of-a-kind love story with a narrator its listeners won’t soon forget.

Gripping war story

I'll definitely be looking for more from this author. This appears to be the only audio book, and I couldn't find anything else that had been translated, but I thought the story was fascinating and informative, and I'd say the translator and narrator did great jobs. I'm convinced dogs are more like us than we think; consider how much they understand of human speech, while we understand almost nothing of theirs. I could believe perhaps this author has found the Rosetta Stone of doggy lingo. I really enjoyed a canine protagonist who was a fan of Muhterem Nur and is addicted to cigarettes, I've never read or listened to anything like it, and I do appreciate fresh creations.
