A long title for a fun, clever, short book, by Andrew O'Hagan. Maf is an erudite, opinionated dog who weighs in on the Arts and Politics, with capital letters, during the early '60's in the US. There are some great cameos by Lee Strasberg, Leo Castelli, Frank Sinatra, John Kennedy, Carson McCullers, Lillian Hellman, a host of critics & scholars. Once past the first 20 pages of set-up, Maf finds his stride and it's a romp!
