Dog to a legend now in book form

A comic novel, centered around Marilyn Monroe's dog, will hit the shelves in December.

"The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe" is by Andrew O'Hagan.

from cnn.com.
According to the book's description, Maf — short for Mafia — met everybody who is anybody during his time with the actress, including President John F. Kennedy, and accompanied the silver screen star to acting classes, chi-chi restaurants, department stores and to Mexico for her divorce from playwright Arthur Miller.

"Marilyn was a strange and unhappy creature, but at the same time she had more natural comedy to her than anybody I would ever know," observes Maf, who was 3 when Monroe died in 1962 at age 36.

O'Hagan has said that Hollywood is interested in making a movie about Maf and Monroe.

Who will it star, I wonder?
