THE CAT AND THE CITY - NICK BRADLEY KARTONIERT ...

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick  One of the Independent's best June debuts  'Ingenious ...
touching  surprising and sometimes heartbreaking.' Guardian  'If you're itching to read a new
novel by David Mitchell ... try this.' The Times _______________  In Tokyo - one of the world's
largest megacities - a stray cat is wending her way through the back alleys. And  with each
detour  she brushes up against the seemingly disparate lives of the city-dwellers  connecting
them in unexpected ways.  But the city is changing. As it does  it pushes her to the margins
where she chances upon a series of apparent strangers - from a homeless man squatting in an
abandoned hotel  to a shut-in hermit afraid to leave his house  to a convenience store worker
searching for love. The cat orbits Tokyo's denizens  drawing them ever closer.  'Masterfully
weaves together seemingly disparate threads to conjure up a vivid tapestry of Tokyo  its glory
its shame  its characters  and a calico cat.' David Peace  author of THE TOKYO TRILOGY
