My Favorite Girlfriend was a French Bulldog (2020)
Legna Rodríguez Iglesias
"There is a winning self-awareness to these stories that charms as much as it disorients. Funny, surprising, and disturbing - not so much by turns as in layers, all at once - the fifteen sections of Legna Rodríguez Iglesias’s strange and wonderful My Favorite Girlfriend Was a French Bulldog stand alone and also build on one another. I both admired and enjoyed this book, happy to get a little lost along its deceptively meandering paths, and happy to have this author snap me back to attention, over and over, and then startle and satisfy me with the ending. Even as she yanks you around, Rodríguez Iglesias knows precisely what she’s doing: she’ll rip your heart out - with a wink."
