Winner of the 2018 National Book Award and shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Assistant to a generation of intellectual idol Susan Sontag, it made a sensation in the literary world with the mini-Sontag biography in history - "Forever Susan - Remembering Susan Sontag"; it touches on many hot issues - war trauma, sexism, human trafficking, child prostitution, the "MeToo" movement, depression treatment, academic corruption, pet discrimination, etc. The main line of the novel is the story of a giant dog known as Apollo among dogs, the Great Dane, who gets to know and accompany the protagonist. It tells the story of loss and rebirth. The heroine's mentor (and lover) committed suicide, leaving behind three ladies with different intentions and a silent mourner - Apollo the Great Dane. The Great Dane no longer had any hope of ever seeing his owner again. It doesn't kill itself, it doesn't cry, but there are signs that it can and does collapse. In the days when she and the three inconsistent ladies were reminiscing about the various truths that were taken away and covered up by the deceased, the heroine and the Great Dane began to accept and protect each other. The tacit understanding and love that gradually emerged between the two became the best explanation of faith and friendship, and the heroine herself was reborn.
