About this deal

Daddy always said I was a lost soul, that I was a lost soul because I drove him crazier than a minister. The novel’s original Spanish title, Panza de Burro, translates as “donkey’s belly,” an idiomatic expression from the Canary Islands describing the low-hanging, soupy clouds that gather oppressively over the northern region of Tenerife.

I think it's something very typical of queer childhoods, the same girl who makes you envious for being more advanced or beautiful or intelligent you also like. Canonical "dog daies" were observed from July 7 to September 5 in the 16th-century English liturgies.Published in Spain in 2020 as Panza de Burro, Andrea Abreu’s debut is now being translated into 16 languages, with plans for screen adaptation. They play out depraved storylines with their Barbies; masturbate with pens, crayons, clothes pegs; eat fried chicken, stewed taters, red mojo, and gofio amasado. So vertical that sometimes it seemed like the shiny bee-em-dub-yous would skid all the way down, music blasting. As the summer goes on, Shit finds it increasingly hard to keep up with Isora - one year older and growing up at full tilt without her. There is so much shame that we inherit as we grow up, and Shit and Isora seem to be on the cusp of their sexuality, in the sweet spot between innocence and shame.

Juanita Banana was hardly ever allowed to play because he always needed to weed the garden or feed the animals or mop the patio or wash the cars or hose down his brother’s moped.Chela pulled off her slipper so she could hurl it at Isora’s head and screamed I’ll show you a beach, you little cunt! Edwards, Anthony (2004), Hesiod's Ascra, Berkeley: University of California Press, ISBN 9780520236585 . Unable to find someone to take them, they roam the roads of their working-class town, tucked high away next to the volcano, trapped under oppressive cloud cover.

Andrea Abreu's debut novel about two girls in the summer heat of Tenerife is perfect for these dog days.In addition to that, I am interested in the savagery or radicality or animality of human relationships, especially between girls. Whenever Chela saw us eating like that she’d say we were pigs and then ask me how my nana let us get away with that disgustful behaviour. Braiding prose poetry with bachata lyrics and the gritty humour of Canary dialect, Dogs of Summer is a brutal picture of girlhood in the 90s and a story, told with exquisite yearning, of a friendship that simmers into erotic desire over the course of one hot summer.
