Gio's just over twenty. His life hasn't been the same since a coard stabbed him in the head with a screwdriver. Since then, Gio has been privy to what others overlook. The beauty of the night. The owls' hooting call. How great his pals Papillon and Dolores are. An amazing Roma road movie, The Dog of the Stars tells the story of their fates, an odyssey through the world of humans by turns cruel and tender.
Shot through with the same humanism as Le Démon de la Colline aux Loups, Dimitri Rouchon-Borie's first novel (The Demon of Wolf Hill: 13 prizes, 35,000 lecteurs), The Dog of the Stars confirms his considerable talent.
