Summary

The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe by Andrew O’Hagan is a brilliant, whimsical, and imaginative novel told from the perspective of Maf, the charismatic Maltese gifted to Marilyn Monroe by Frank Sinatra. Far more than a simple pet memoir, this story offers witty and sharply observed commentary on Hollywood, politics, psychoanalysis, and celebrity culture, all through the eyes of a highly literate and philosophical canine. Maf accompanies Marilyn through the last two tumultuous years of her life, witnessing her private struggles, public triumphs, and relationships with key figures like John F. Kennedy and Arthur Miller. O’Hagan masterfully blends humor, poignant insight, and historical detail, presenting a fresh, poignant portrait of Marilyn Monroe not as a myth, but as a vulnerable and fascinating woman. A delight for fans of literary fiction, celebrity biographies, and imaginative storytelling.
