About This Novel

"The Red Collar" is a novella by Jean-Christophe Lufen, winner of the Goncourt Literary Prize. It was published in 2014 and won the Maurice Genava Literary Prize that year. A movie based on it will be released in 2018. The story takes place at the end of World War I. French soldier Morrac was awarded the Legion of Honor during the Battle of Salonika, but openly awarded the medal to a dog during a military parade in July 1919. Is he crazy? Is this a provocation against militarism? Regardless, he went to jail for it. Driven by curiosity, the young military judge kept digging into the case, vowing to find out the real motive for this ridiculous behavior: What is the relationship between Morlak and the dog? Has his love been betrayed? What did this farmer-turned-soldier see about war? Loyalty is a quality shared by humans and animals, but human loyalty is more complex. In this novel, Lu Fen uses fascinating narrative techniques to present us a story beyond loyalty and within human nature.
