Book Description

From the critically acclaimed author of Shizuko’s Daughter (a New York Times Notable Book) and Ya, comes a fascinating new memoir about animals, loss, and finding a home in the world. Cat and Bird, a “memoir in animals,” is anchored around Kyoko Mori’s relationship with the six house cats who defined the major eras of her life as a writer:Dorian, Oscar, Eest, Algeon, Miles, and Jackson. As she details the rhythms and routines of their days together, she weaves a narrative tapestry out of her past:the deep family tragedy and resilience that marked her childhood in Japan, her move to the American Midwest as a young adult, her experiences as a bird rehabilitator and cat trainer, her marriage and divorce, and the joys and profound heartbreaks that come with pet ownership. Full of razor-sharp observations and generous prose, Cat and Bird whirls into a moving meditation about grief, writing, the imagination, the solitary life, and the wonders of companionship with creatures both domestic and wild.
