A New Book by Alison Nastasi Looks at the Affectionate Relationships Between Writers and Their Cats

In a follow-up to her best-selling book Artists and their CatsAlison Nastasi has penned Writers and Their Cats.

Ranging from Elizabeth Bishop to Haruki Murakami, Nastasi’s book looks into the domestic lives of forty-five renowned novelists, poets, and journalists from around the world. Each short and sweet profile includes reminiscences on the roles writers’ cats have played in fueling creativity, providing comfort, and even getting interview subjects to open up. Writers and Their Cats will be published by Chronicle on August 21, 2018, and is available for presale in The Colossal Shop.
