What a mysterious, confounding thing is a writer! Yet, spend a little time with the writerâs cats and one might just understand her better. Muriel Barbery, via her feline friends and co-conspirators, takes readers into her atelier, offering them a behind-the-scenes peek into her process and problems, joys and disappointments. The tale is told from the perspective of one of the writerâs four cats, Kirin, who, together with her cohort, may or may not be a reliable narrator. Thereâs Ocha, the leader of the gang, a tough guy with a soft heart; the bandy-legged and affectionate Mizu, Ochaâs sister; the phlegmatic and refined Petrus, lover of flowers; and finally, pretty Kirin, narrator of this bewitching story. A superb, funny, and touching text for writers, readers, fans of Muriel Barberyâs best-selling novels, and cat lovers. 541 $d 20211116. 650 4 $a Pet Owners $v Humor. 650 $a Authors $v Humor. 650 1 $a Cats $v Humor. 650 1 $a Animals $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Pets $v Humor. 700 $a Guitart, Maria, $d 1978-, $e Illustrator. 700 $a Anderson, Alison, $e Translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032848.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310011331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=109C78AC4C2B11ECAC4B6F2A3AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
