Maf in The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe by Andrew O’HaganRead about the other entries on the list.
Frank Sinatra gave Mafia Honey, a Maltese terrier, to Monroe as a Christmas present in 1960. O’Hagan’s fourth novel follows the final years of the actor from the point of view of this singular pooch. This well-educated and articulate dog will not only give you a unique perspective on Monroe’s life, it will steal your heart away. He’s that charming and spot-on.
