Cat Love

“Notes from Underground meets Kafka’s ‘The Burrow,’ only it’s an experiment with the most charming, erudite cat in literature narrating this funny, moving meditation on life, pop culture, and love, that’s also a truly original, page-turning delight to read.” —Fernando A. Flores, author of Brother Brontë

“Tomás Q. Morín has written the comic novel I’ve been waiting for. Cat Love is a Gen X masterpiece, riotous and haunting, where Schrödinger’s cat longs for better days, but is cursed with the bad luck to land in a cruel box: a thought experiment come to life. As she fights her isolation with the powerful nostalgia that we’re all feeling in this berserk American moment, Morín’s register soars from snappy to elegiac, ultimately hurtling us into a marvelously surreal place, where it is possible to embrace the beauty of grief. I could not look away.” —Jessica Anthony, author of Enter the Aardvark

“The cat at the center of this daring novel might be trapped in a Schrödinger’s box but her consciousness is thrillingly unbounded, spiky, unafraid to wrestle with the epic questions. Cat Love bounds between comedy and tragedy, as our tenacious and hilarious heroine struggles to comprehend a bewildering new reality and grieves a stolen life. Tomás Q. Morín has written a wondrous, original, and singularly moving novel.” —Laura van den Berg, author of State of Paradise
