Sobre este artículo
Toronto: Coach House Books, 2015 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Canadian Edition. The gods, Apollo and Hermes, debate what, if anything, sets humans apart from other mortal beings-a question that is more frequently part of today's conversations among scientists about consciousness. Settling on intelligence, they enable a random group of mutts, poodles, retrievers, and other breeds to develop their own language, comprehend human language, and understand the passing of time. But the book's central quest is to explore the possibility for happiness-and whether intelligence hinders or helps this. In their new state of awareness, the dogs escape from a veterinary clinic and form a pack in a city park. Armed with human capabilities, they jockey for power and quarrel over how these gifts should be used. Fifteen Dogs shows you can teach an old genre new tricks.André Alexis was born in Trinidad and grew up in Canada. Fifteen Dogs, won the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. 171p.Stated First edition but with a Gillerfinalist marker on front cover.
