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. In a series of spellbinding, interlocking narratives-with styles ranging from manga to footnotes-Nick Bradley has hewn a novel of interplay and estrangement; of survival and self-destruction; of the desire to belong and the need to escape. Formally inventive and slyly political, The Cat and The City is a lithe thrill-ride through the less-glimpsed streets of Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68137215590688,"sku":"NEW1786499894","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/719eiHoXg0L.jpg?v=1793818313","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-cat-and-the-city-1786499894","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
