In this darkly funny debut from Lucie Pagé, characters collide in unexpected ways as they search to create meaning in their lives.

A university English sessional teacher searches for his missing blind pit bull, not entirely aware that his relationship is coming unravelled. Katherine, his girlfriend, pays far more attention to her walk-on role in an alternative theatre production. Fourteen-year-old Becca struggles to get her mother’s attention, while her mother provides calorie-wise snacking and fashion advice and dates Becca’s psychologist. Karl fails to control his embarrassing and shameful bad habit at his dead-end telemarketing job.

Pagé weaves together narratives that speak of people adrift in the conflicting tides of the first decades of the twenty-first century in a novel that echoes the works of Lynda Barry.

Lucie Pagé is a French-Canadian writer and screenwriter (Another Life, Slasher, Les Champs de Boue) whose fiction has been published in Carte Blanche, Robot Butt, and This Magazine. She’s received several awards for her original screenplays, won the Great Canadian Literary Hunt for fiction, and the O’Neill-Karsh award for her first full-length play. Lucie divides her time between Toronto and Vancouver Island.

“I definitely recommend this as a clever take on modern existence and self-discovery that will be on my mind for a long time to come.” Bookaholic Bex

“A beautiful mess of protagonists who transform before our very eyes as they search for their home in the world. I adored Lost Dogs and Pagé's clever writing style. Her characters live in the back of my mind.” McKenzie, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, Arizona

“Peeling back the binary of cold and explosive personalities, ambition, anxieties, and desire, Lost Dogs is a story about what all of us fear and long for. Pagé brings her acclaimed television writing experience to bear on the novel, creating a compulsively readable, character-driven tale.”
