Summary

"Delivered like a fable, <i>A Cat at the End of the World</i> shifts perspectives between a runaway slave and the Scatterwind, a bodiless spirit that moves effortlessly through time and space, from the days of ancient Syracuse to our contemporary era. At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian cat -- one of the earliest to be domesticated -- through whom Robert Perišić channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society. Guided by Perišić's unique sensitivity, <i>A Cat at the End of the World</i> solidifies his reputation as one of the most exciting and important contemporary writers in Europe." --Back cover
