Praise for The Big New Yorker Book of Cats
Â
â‚¬Å“The Book of Cats comes a year after The Big New Yorker Book of Dogsâ‚¬"a publishing slight that, though it stings, Iâ‚¬ll forgive, as the latest anthology was worth the wait. . . . Two standout articles feature real-life obsessives of ages past who reveal todayâ‚¬s Caturnet devoteesâ‚¬"with their GIFs and Tumblrs and hastily aggregated listiclesâ‚¬"for what they truly are: amateurs. . . . Eat your heart out, Cute Overload.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The New York Times Book Review
Â
â‚¬Å“A beautiful hardcover.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Jenny McCarthy, People
Â
â‚¬Å“This 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 canâ‚¬t help but be enthralled. A must-have.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Modern Cat
Â
â‚¬Å“A shiny, well-fed tome . . . The anthology embodies the catâ‚¬s defining characteristic: its cluster of opposites, rolled together into a giant hairball of cultural attitudesâ‚¬"something, perhaps, at once uncomfortably and assuringly reflective of our own chronically conflicted selves.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Brain Pickings
Â
â‚¬Å“This 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.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The Conscious Cat
Â
â‚¬Å“[A] sumptuous volume.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The Dallas Morning News
Â
â‚¬Å“One need not own cats (or do cats own their owners?) or even be a pet lover to savor this feline-focused offering.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The Sacramento Bee
Â
â‚¬Å“[A] fun collection of short stories, articles, humor, poems, and charming color covers from the magazineâ‚¬s archives . . . [a] high-quality, attractive work.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Library Journal
Â
â‚¬Å“Covers, 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.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Kirkus Reviews
Â
â‚¬Å“An eminently giftable anthology.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Publishers Weekly
