I Am A Cat (Tuttle Classics)
"A nonchalant string of anecdotes and wisecracks, told by a fellow who doesn't have a name, and has never caught a mouse, and isn't much good for anything except watching human beings in action?" -The New YorkerWritten from 1904 through 1906, Soseki Natsume's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him.A classic of Japanese literature,I Am a Cat is one of Soseki's best-known novels. Considered by many as the most significant writer in modern Japanese history, Soseki'sI Am a Cat is a classic novel sure to be enjoyed for years to come.Review"A nonchalant string of anecdotes and wisecracks, told by a fellow who doesn't have a name." -The New YorkerFrom the Inside FlapAbout the AuthorBornNatsume Kinnosuke, Soseki was brought up in a middle-class family at the beginning of the Meiji period.
