Why read it?
1 author picked Lost Cat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The cover of Lost Cat is, for me, hard to look at. A one-eyed rescued kitten named Gattino, staring out—I knew immediately it would be an emotional read, and I was right.
Losing Gattino becomes the vehicle through which Mary Gaitskill processes deeper grief: her father's death, and the painful unravelling of a cherished fostering relationship.
I picked this up at a well-timed moment in my own life, when I, too, was working through long-held grief, and I cried quite a bit. Honest, raw, and precise—this is grief writing at its most unguarded.
From Louise's list on the transformative power of loving a cat.
