Abreu's novel, in Julia Sanches's sparkling translation, is a revelation, perfectly capturing a festering summer of meltdowns and shrinking horizons." —The New York Times My Brilliant Friend meets Blue is the Warmest Color in this lyrical debut novel set in a working-class neighborhood of the Canary Islands—a story about two girls coming of age in the early aughts and a friendship that simmers into erotic desire over the course of one hot summer. High near the volcano of northern Tenerife, an endless ceiling of cloud cover traps the working class in an abject, oppressive heat. Far away from the island’s posh resorts, two girls dream of hitching a ride down to the beach and escaping their horizonless town. It’s summer, 2005, and our ten-year-old narrator is consumed by thoughts of her best friend Isora. Isora is rude and bossy, but she’s also vivacious and brave; grownups prefer her, and boys do, too. That's why sometimes she gets jealous of Isora, who already has hair on her vagina and soft, round breasts. But she's definitely not jealous that Isora’s mother is dead, nor that Isora's fat, foul-mouthed grandmother has her on a diet, so that she is constantly sticking her fingers down her throat. Besides, she would do anything for Isora: gorge herself on cakes when her friend wants to watch, follow her to the bathroom when she takes a shit, log into chat rooms to swap dirty instant messages with strangers. But increasingly, our narrator finds it hard to keep up with Isora, who seems to be growing up at full tilt without her—and as her submissiveness veers into a painful sexual awakening, desire grows indistinguishable from intimate violence. Braiding prose poetry with bachata lyrics and the gritty humor of Canary dialect, Dogs of Summer is a story of exquisite yearning, a brutal picture of girlhood and a love song written for the vital community it portrays.

Download and read online ebook The Dogs of Summer write by Eileen Wilson. This book was released on 1996-09-01. The Dogs of Summer available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. THE DOGS OF SUMMER is a light-hearted look at three generations of neighborhood dogs who spent most of their lives or most of their summers on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The ten dogs featured inhabited the small town of West Tisbury in the center of the island. The foibles & eccentricities of all these very individual canines cast a light, not only on the dogs themselves, but also their owners & the town in which they all lived. From Fred Mazer, the hitch-hiking Basset hound, who ended up attending church services all on his own every Sunday, to Barnaby Kerr, the sea-going dog who would ride the ferries without a ticket whenever he felt the call of the ocean, the author has managed to capture in amusing detail outstanding moments in these ten dogs' lives. Almost incidentally she paints a picture of summer in a small New England town. Barbecues, oyster-gathering, encounters with local dog wardens & visiting celebrities, expeditions to the village store, to the outdoor Art Gallery & the beach flesh out each story to create an unforgettable reminiscence of New England summers.
