About this book
Convinced that London's disenchanted residents are being controlled by their dogs, a young bartender embarks on a foolishly quixotic campaign to rescue his peers from the stasis of domesticity. Sofa-hopping across a Hackney overrun with hungover musicians, craft brewers and their canine masters, he slips further into fantasy the more obsessed he becomes with setting himself, and everyone else, free. But after falling in love with a hot-blooded young actress, he begins to realise that the thing he's fighting against may have become the very thing he wants most of all. The Shapes of Dogs' Eyes explores love, homelessness, and a restless sense of uncertainty in a modern London as brittle and unmoored, as familiar and as chimerical, as the characters that move through it.
