Wodehouse to Doris Lessing, from Damon Runyon to Steven Millhauser.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essential unknowableness of cats has inspired many flights of fancy: Italo Calvino’s secret city of cats in “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Garden of Stubborn Cats\u003c\/span\u003e,” the disappearing feline in Ursula K. Le Guin’s mind-twisting “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSchrödinger’s Cat\u003c\/span\u003e,” the cartoon rodent and his cartoon nemesis in Steven Millhauser’s “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eCat ’n’ Mouse\u003c\/span\u003e.” Cats flaunt their superiority in Angela Carter’s bawdy retelling of “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePuss-in-Boots\u003c\/span\u003e” and in Stephen Vincent Benét’s “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe King of the Cats\u003c\/span\u003e,” in which two impossibly suave foreigners are revealed as even more exotic than they pretend to be. In “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Islands\u003c\/span\u003e” by Alice Adams and “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eI See You, Bianca\u003c\/span\u003e” by Maeve Brennan we see how much cats can mean to their humans. And the inimitable Saki lets us hear what cats really think of us in “\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTobermory\u003c\/span\u003e,” his tale of a tactless talking animal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these and other stories, this delightful book offers cat lovers a many- faceted tribute to the beguilingly mysterious objects of their affection.","brand":"Alfred A.
