Have you ever read a book and started to really wonder about the author? Fifteen Dogs is doing that to me, the author doesn't even fit the stereotype.
What stereotype? Also I really enjoyed this book and have recommended it to people but no one will read it :(
>>24764990I know the premise is fantastical, but once it started leaning heavy into the pack order shit that's been completely disproven to drive the storyline, the immersion was completely broken.Otherwise, it's a nice snapshot of that brief period after the Great Recession but before the housing price bubble where regular people could buy and live in detached houses in Toronto proper.
>>24764990>>24765279This is my go-to rec for friends who complain that they’ve fallen out of a reading habit. I’ve had several successes! I also don’t know what you mean by stereotype, except that Andre Alexis is black and this isn’t a “black” book. At least one of his novels, Days by Moonlight, has blackness as an element but even there it’s not a defining feature. Anyway, I’m a fan, although I was disappointed by his recent short story collection.
>>24765279>>24765294Don't play coy. You know the stereotype.
>>24765308You’re the one playing coy. Say what you mean, faggot. Are you trying to suggest that it seems like a book for furries?

For me, it's 101 Dalmatians
>>24765311No. It's more concrete than that. I have no interest in explaining further to a tourist.
>>24765312Why do ESLs love mother jokes so much? Seriously, it's odd how often I have encountered this phenomenon. Any time I have ever had a minor disagreement with a young ESL, I have been met with shouts of "fuck mother" often like that, possessive determiners absent. I have experienced many such encounters first hand on games like CS:GO as a younger man, and witnessed many on sites like this one.
>>24765325Sorry I was in a hurry. I don't care about this thread, honestly.
>>24765279>>24765294Yeah the book is excellent.What I was talking about more was how much the dude focuses on the weird sex stuff with the dogs, and also opening the book with a gay sex scene which was totally unneeded. It raises eyebrows.
>>24765367Thank you for your service
>>24765392God's hump shit and watch people have sex. Also it's set in Toronto where 85% of the population is gay.
>>24765663Dogs*Oh shit, I'm dyslexic
>>24765359Thirdies and blacks are obsessed with incest and cuckoldry
>>24765663How does the population grow then?
>>24765663>set in TorontoForsaken city. I will not read.
