BOOK HIGHLIGHT
Title: Fifteen Dogs
Author: André Alexis
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 159 pages
Call number: F ALE Heard on King Street, Toronto: "I wonder, said Hermes, what it would be like if animals had human intelligence." "I'll wager one year's servitude, said Apollo, that animals - any animal you choose - would be even more unhappy than humans are, if they had human intelligence." (p.2) Led by their curiosity and competitive nature, our two gods quickly bestow the gift of human speech and intelligence to fifteen dogs. Unable to cope with what has just happened to them three canines die soon after their escape. The remaining pack runs away guided by a new conscious that will prove librerating to some and deadly to others. Delighted by his new language ability, Prince, for instance, finds both happiness and solace in poetry which helps him connect to the world around him. For his part, Atticus, their imposing and aggressive new leader, hates poetry, and everything to do with their undogly awareness and forces everyone who wants to follow him to return to their dog-eat-dog ways. From dissention, treason and harsh acts of violence to poignant moments of love, kindness and friendship Alexis's modern day myth is a powerful work about life, death and what it means to be conscious. I have to say that my reading experience was enhanced by the fact that I read Fifteen Dogs immediately after devouring Antispéciste by French author-journalist-essayist Aymeric Caron in which he defends “the reconciliation between humans, animals, nature”. NOTE: Fifteen Dogs is Alexis’s 9th book and the second in his Pastoral series. It won the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Rogers Writes’ Trust of Canada Award. mario chioini, usl SUMMER CHECK OUT Please remember to return all the library materials you checked out for the summer.
