Dogs by Dora Šustic
English | 2026 | General Fiction
We meet Dora on a train, traveling to Prague to attend film school in the hope that she will get everything she wants from life: “knowledge, freedom, sex, work, success, love, money.” It does not take long for Dora to find sex, and what she thinks is love, with Leon, a charismatic older photographer. For Dora, this is her first great romance, but for Leon, she is little more than a wraith of his dead wife.
Dogs is propelled by the millennial notion that everything is possible, so long as you strike the right poses. Dwelling in the student bars of Prague and the off-season coastline of Cádiz, Spain, this sultry story makes clear that intentions and passion are all too often entangled in dark energy and ego. But what is life, and the larger world, if it isn’t experienced to the fullest by each individual? It is this universal question that makes Dora’s journey through Dogs so appealing—and so revealing.
