The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his friend Marilyn Monroe by Andrew O'hagan

In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. The story of Maf the dog is a hilarious and highly original peek into the life of a complex canine hero - he was very much a real historical figure, with his license and photographs sold at auction along with Marilyn's other person affects.
Seemlessly and wittily blends fact and fiction - Maf's insightful, quirky, forthright opinions and scholarly observations on everything from Jack Kennedy to civil rights, the space race and interior decoraton are both illuminating and screamingly funnyEasy Living
Andrew O'Hagan was born in Glasgow in 1968. Our Fathers, his debut novel, was shortlisted for the 1999 Booker Prize. His second novel, Personality, won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2003, and in that same year Granta named him one of the 'Best of Young British Novelists'. He lives in London.
