De honden van Babel

The novel handles loss so delicately — I wonder how different readers connect with the protagonist’s emotional journey and if it brought up their own memories of mourning.

The idea of teaching a dog to speak is so unique, but also raises questions about understanding and connection. How realistic or symbolic do others see this approach?

The book suggests that words can bridge gaps after tragedy, but I’m curious whether this theme was inspired by personal experiences or broader ideas about therapy and connection.
