The Sophisticated Cat by Joyce Carol Oates
A collection of classic stories and poems about cats, composed by a grand total of 99 of history's finest writers. Included are stories by masters of the form - Balzac, Chekov, Wodehouse, Zola, Saki, Colette, Poe, Twain, Runyon and Hemingway - as well as the best in contemporary writing represented by the likes of Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Adams, Angela Carter and Ursula Le Guin, to name just a few. Then there are the poets, from Keats and Emily Dickinson to Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens and, of course, Old Possum himself, T.S. Eliot, creator of such immortal felines as the Rum-Tum-Tugger and the inimitably elusive Mystery Cat, Macavity. Finally, a group of pieces called "The Truth About Cats" collects the writings of Herodotus through to William Faulkner.| SKU | Unavailable |
