The life and opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his friend Marilyn Monroe

[This story] is about Marilyn Monroe- voiced by her dog, Mafia Honey, or "Maf," for short. Maf is, naturally, versed in the classics, and as he and his owner spend time with such notables as Natalie Wood, Frank Sinatra, and JFK, he offers erudite commentary, sometimes in dialogue with other dogs, on such subjects as interior decorating, celebrity, authenticity, religion, and death. The strangeness of the scenario becomes more sensible as the book goes on. Maf's riffs on the way people project their thoughts and feelings onto dogs suggest the way they view celebrities, and O'Hagan ornaments his wry humor with sparkling gems of prose.-Booklist review.

  • "In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Maf. He had an instinct for the 20th century. This is his story. This joyful literary comedy, full of wit and pathos, features the celebrities and literati of the 60s, in New York and Hollywood. It is a fascinating fictional take on one of the most extraordinary periods of the 20th-century and transports us back to a moment when the worlds of politics, film, and art collided, and the decade that came to be known as "the Sixties" was born."

  • "Le bichon Maf est le compagnon de tous les instants de MariIyn Monroe durant les deux dernières années de sa vie. Il l'aide à surmonter les difficultés de la vie : sa séparation d'avec Arthur Miller, son manque de confiance en elle, aussi bien dans sa vie personnelle que professionnelle. Maf se comporte tout à tour en philosophe moraliste puis en commentateur de sujets tels que la guerre froide.--[Memento]."
