SYNOPSIS
‘Brash, worldly and wickedly funny, Eka Kurniawan may be Southeast Asia’s most ambitious writer in a generation’ Economist
Once, Sato Reang’s father tried to bully him into being a pious child. Now he’s a little Devil.
He stops saying his prayers. He starts to run with the wild boys: drinking, fighting, stealing. He eats his fill of life, barges in where he pleases. Maybe he’ll burn down the school…
If only Jamal, his strictly religious schoolmate, would join him. Sato intends to lead him astray and introduce him to worldly pleasures. Even if the consequences are darker than he could have imagined.
Devilishly funny and delicately moving, The Dog Meows, the Cat Barks is a lightning strike of a coming-of-age novel.

REVIEWS
Brash, worldly and wickedly funny, Eka Kurniawan may be Southeast Asia’s most ambitious writer in a generation
Economist
Kurniawan flips effortlessly from first to third person, creating a fun and textured style, which blends a clear-eyed perspective with moments of visceral emotion. This brims with humor and heart
Publishers Weekly, starred review
A portrait of childhood that is both funny and quietly devastating… Sato’s voice carries the novel forward with infectious energy, even as the shadows deepen around him
