The Cat, Or, How I Lost Eternity

63 pp. | Milkweed | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-57131-676-9 $14.00
(4) 4-6 Translated by Anna Brailovsky. Illustrated by Rotraut Susanne Berner. In this strange tale, young Christine befriends a talking cat. The cat gives her advice--sometimes sage, mostly mystifying--as they contemplate eternity. Imaginative strong-lined black, white, gray, and yellow illustrations that play with perspective and proportion act as breaks between the episodic chapters, adding to the sophisticated air of a story best suited to budding philosophers.
