Praise for The Big New Yorker Book of Cats
Â
âThe Book of Cats comes a year after The Big New Yorker Book of Dogsâa publishing slight that, though it stings, Iâll forgive, as the latest anthology was worth the wait. . . . Two standout articles feature real-life obsessives of ages past who reveal todayâs Caturnet devoteesâwith their GIFs and Tumblrs and hastily aggregated listiclesâfor what they truly are: amateurs. . . . Eat your heart out, Cute Overload.ââThe New York Times Book Review
Â
âA beautiful hardcover.ââJenny McCarthy, People
Â
âThis irresistible anthology of articles, poems, essays, fiction, cartoons, and covers pulled from the New Yorker is a veritable treasure trove for cat lovers. Just dive right in; with stories from the likes of John Updike, Maeve Brennan, Roald Dalhl, and Haruki Murakami interwoven with hilariously wry cartoons, one canât help but be enthralled. A must-have.ââModern Cat
Â
âA shiny, well-fed tome . . . The anthology embodies the catâs defining characteristic: its cluster of opposites, rolled together into a giant hairball of cultural attitudesâsomething, perhaps, at once uncomfortably and assuringly reflective of our own chronically conflicted selves.ââBrain Pickings
Â
âThis gorgeous book has earned a permanent spot on my coffee table. It is an absolute joy to read and browse through, and I know it will bring me hours and hours of pleasure for years to come. And it makes a purr-fect gift for the special cat lovers in your life.ââThe Conscious Cat
Â
â[A] sumptuous volume.ââThe Dallas Morning News
Â
âOne need not own cats (or do cats own their owners?) or even be a pet lover to savor this feline-focused offering.ââThe Sacramento Bee
Â
â[A] fun collection of short stories, articles, humor, poems, and charming color covers from the magazineâs archives . . . [a] high-quality, attractive work.ââLibrary Journal
Â
âCovers, cartoons, authors of pieces both longer and shorter, reflect current views of the feline subject in all its glory. . . . The quality, humor and variety make for another successful New Yorker collection.ââKirkus Reviews
Â
âAn eminently giftable anthology.ââPublishers Weekly
