|title= Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs
|rating= 5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= Upstairs, a flat where mother and daughter struggle from pay cheque to pay cheque; downstairs, the love nest of a dying writer and her last of many conquests. Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs is a multilayered testimonial to the writer, the eccentric Alba Cambó, gathered by Araceli, the teenager upstairs. Through Araceli's bird's-eye view, anecdotes unfold as told by lovers, business acquaintances (often both – for with Alba Cambó you can never know), and the short stories of Cambó herself.

Adam Sisman, who has since then been granted exclusive access to the man and his private archive, can therefore consider himself a lucky man.
