See you next month,

Old Dog 🇨🇺 Perro Viejo
(Teresa Cárdenas, 2007, trans. David Unger)
After a life of slavery in a sugar plantation, Perro Viejo believes himself unable to love. Old, exhausted and haunted by the memories of those he lost—his mother’s scent, a storyteller’s tales, a beloved friend, a beautiful girl—he lives day after day, waiting for the end. Everything changes when Beira, a fellow enslaved woman believed to be a witch, begins hiding a little girl who managed to run away, and asks for his help.
Old Dog is a painful read, but an extremely touching one.
