The Dog Meows, The Cat Barks
Translated by Annie Tucker
Filled with devilish humour, The Dog Meows, The Cat Barks is a heart-breaking fire whip of a novella about delighting in wickedness and the costs of vengeance.
I had no idea that the day I lost my foreskin I stumbled into a trap, completely ignorant and unprepared.
Sato Reang never wanted to become a pious child. But now Father is dead, and there are no more prayers. Sato can live as he chooses: he eats his fill, pisses on cars, laughs heartily at the craziest jokes. He sets the movie theatre on fire.
Sato Reang doesn't hide his face anymore. But, what can he do about Jamal? The only kid in the village who shared Sato's torturous religious upbringing. No one's ever told him he should commit one tiny sin...
Until today.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
