Boy and dog

Roman Seisu Hase “Boy and Dog”, sold in Japan more than 300 thousand times, received the prestigious literary prize named after Sandjugo Naoki in 2020. For a year, nine countries immediately bought the right to publish this story. Seisu Hase is known primarily by the novels of Yakuza, according to which several successful films were shot in Southeast Asia. The “boy and the dog” is a little out of the author’s favorite theme, affecting life stories that take each of us for the soul of each of us: extinct love, mortal disease of loved ones, the failure of society, poverty. But in this story there is a place of unsinkable hope for the best and kindness that are inherent in a person regardless of his upbringing, education, social status or mental state
