Description
I had no idea that the day I lost my foreskin I stumbled into a trap, completely ignorant and unprepared.
Sato Reang never wanted to become a pious child. But now Father is dead, and there are no more prayers. Sato can live as he chooses: he eats his fill, pisses on cars, laughs heartily at the craziest jokes. He sets the movie theatre on fire.
Sato Reang doesn't hide his face anymore. But, what can he do about Jamal? The only kid in the village who shared Sato's torturous religious upbringing. No one's ever told him he should commit one tiny sin...
Until today.
Filled with devilish humour, The Dog Meows, The Cat Barks is a heart-breaking fire whip of a novella about delighting in wickedness and the costs of vengeance.
