"A brilliant satire." --The Boston Globe
"Fascinating. . . . Explor[es] deep questions about ethics and happiness in a globalized age." --Chicago Tribune "A mordantly funny and, surprisingly for these times, deeply moral tale of lost love and economic betrayal." --John Banville, The Guardian (London) "Brilliant. . . . A devastating portrait of a man and world stuck in a moral impasse." --NPR "A mix of Martin Amis and Thomas Bernhard. . . . With a consummate elegance, The Dog turns in on itself in imitation of the dreadful circling and futility of consciousness itself. . . . Its wit and brio keep us temporarily more alive than we usually allow ourselves to be." --The New York Times Book ReviewJoseph O'Neill is the author of the novels Netherland (which won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award), The Breezes, and This Is the Life, and of a family history, Blood-Dark Track. He lives in New York and teaches at Bard College.

A New York Times Notable Book Nominated for the Man Booker Prize In this extraordinary, both comic and philosophically profound novel, the acclaimed author of Netherland uncovers the hidden contours of a glittering Middle Eastern cityand the quiet dilemmas of modernity. When our unnamed hero, a self-sabotaging and oddly existential lawyer, finds his life in New York falling apart, he seizes an opportunity to flee to Dubai, taking a mysterious job for a fabulously wealthy Lebanese family. As he struggles with his position as the family officer of the capricious Batros brothers, he also struggles with the doghouse, a condition of culpability in which he feels trapped, even as he composes endless electronic correspondenceboth sent and unsentin an attempt to find a way out. An unforgettable fable for our globalized times, The Dog is told with Joseph ONeills hallmark eloquence, empathy, and stylistic mastery.
