Yellow Dog (work by Martin Amis)
About This Novel
The masterpiece of Martin Amis, the godfather of British literature, is a shocking landmark work and a comic strip of modern Western society. The protagonist, Han Meo, is an actor and writer. His father, Meike Mio, was an extremely brutal bandit and had long since died in prison. He lives in the shadow of his father, afraid of meeting his father's enemies or associates during his lifetime and fearing their revenge on him. Under heavy mental pressure, he became very withdrawn and even alienated his wife and daughter. Cora, who has always wanted to take revenge, instigated porn actor Carla to lure Han to California in an attempt to destroy his marriage with sex, but failed. Han accidentally met his biological father Andrews in California. This unexpected discovery made Cora give up the idea of revenge, because Han was not the true descendant of Mio. The novel uses Meike Meo as a symbol of the tyrant and shows how the protagonist gets rid of the influence of the tyrant. He longs to escape the shadow of his dead father, just like the whining yellow dog trying to break free from the chains on his back.
