Cat's Foot (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Brian Doyle | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Brian Doyle has written a supberly intriguing novel...

What if a man who lost his foot in a war decades ago, many years later was to find it again? “It was a good foot, and we parted so hurriedly I never had a chance to really think about it as a foot, so off I went…” So begins this lean little novel – a quest, a wandering, a contemplation of the immense foolishness of war. Terse but filled with adventure and wonder, Cat’s Foot is surely the most unusual fiction you will read this year – or perhaps any year…

“Along Cat's implausible journey to find something impossible to find, you hear him say things you never heard before, told in ways that make you marvel. Cat's eyes have seen everything it seems. Forgotten nothing.” – Bill Gunlocke, Editor, a city reader
