About This Item

New York: The Grenfell Press, 1986. First Edition (Limited to 133 numbered copies) . Hardcover. Very Good. 4to (Unpaginated, illustrated with seven original drawings). A virtually mint copy of this delightful book, as issued, without a dust jacket, number 10 in a limited edition of 133 numbered copies signed by Burroughs and Gysin (18 deluxe copies were produced with a signed Gysin print). One of Burroughs’ best essays and his final collaboration with the artist.

Synopsis

Best known for the wild, phantasmagoric satire of works like Naked Lunch , William S. Burroughs reveals another, gentler side in The Cat Inside . Originally published as a limited-edition volume, this moving and witty discourse on cats combines deadpan routines and dream passages with a heartwarming account of Burroughs's unexpected friendships with the many cats he has known. It is also a meditation on the long, mysterious relationship between cats and their human hosts, which Burroughs traces back to the Egyptian cult of the "animal other." With its street sense and whiplash prose, The Cat Inside is a genuine revelation for Burroughs fans and cat lovers alike.
