For Julieta Campos, cats inject our everyday world with the sphere of the unknown, Inspired by the dichotomy between realiry and appearance, the collection of five short stories explores the relationship between language and reality, and the narrative process. A man belatedly attempts to understand his young wife's perspective on their unhappy marriage and the origines of her feline obsession; an anonymous narrator composes a fragmented disquisition on Havana, Cuba, a city that seems to dissolve into history and memory. An introductory essay explores the symbolism of cats in life and art.
