From the Back Cover
A One-of-a-Kind Portrait of the Woman Behind the Icon, and the Dog Behind the Woman
“[Maf] will make your heart stop—as will O’Hagan’s writing, which is as clear and lovely as the Blonde Bombshell’s seductive laugh.”—Marie Claire
“A very real contender for the wittiest, wisest, most winning book of the year.”—Parade
In 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. A scrappy Maltese Terrier, Maf was with Marilyn the last two years of her glittering but turbulent life. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For liver treats with a side order of National Biscuits. And here, through his eyes, ears, and wet nose, O’Hagan offers us a Marilyn that no paparazzo, devotee, or lover could, in a rollicking and revelatory voice worthy of her legacy.
“Maf the Dog, like Lolita, like The Great Gatsby, is a threnody for lost innocence. Maf is a shrewd observer of the modern age and of the American century.”—John Banville
“A marvelously entertaining, smart and insightful look at stardom, loneliness and loyalty . . . O’Hagan turns that little dog into an engaging, witty and often surprising narrator.”—St. Petersburg Times
ANDREW O’HAGAN was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His previous novels have been awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the E. M. Forster Award.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Maf. He had an instinct for the twentieth century. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. This is his story. Maf the dog was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life. Not only a picaresque hero himself, he was also a scholar of the adventuring rogue in literature and art, witnessing the rise of America's new liberalism, civil rights, the space race, the New York critics, and was Marilyn Monroe's constant companion. 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. Through the eyes of Maf we're provided with an insight into the life of Monroe herself, and a fascinating take on one of the most extraordinary periods of the twentieth century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001989740
