About the Author:
"Who among us has not been startled by our dreams, or basked in the glory of the dawning sun, or tried to write a novel and failed? Ruge asks his readers to surrender to the experience, in much the same way his narrator learns to surrender, to exist within life's harmonious contractions."--Electric Literature
"Ruge has a knowing eye for the life and rhythms of a traveler, capturing the narrator's daily rituals with detailed, delicate care. The cumulative effect is both tranquil and transportive, making Cabo de Gata a lovely little meditation on self-discovery and escape."--Buzzfeed Books
"[Cabo de Gata] reveals how deeply even the most standoffish among us yearn for a sense of belonging; and how that feeling of home and belonging can, given a routine to become accustomed to, emerge in the most unlikely of places."--PopMatters
"Quietly affecting. . . . [Cabo de Gata] poses questions about life's directions and perspectives. . . . [A] clever, stylish novel."--Shelf Awareness
"Cabo de Gata is a refreshing excursion, its moments effortlessly building meaning throughout."--Publishers Weekly
"With colloquial prose and sardonic wit, Ruge eruditely captures his narrator's precarious reality and creates a world that's a pleasure to observe and meander through. At times ruefully hilarious and absurd, this slight, philosophical book will humor anyone who's ever questioned his or her place in this unforgiving universe." --Kirkus Reviews
"Cabo de Gata is the best kind of novel--witty, lyrical, meandering, and featuring a mysterious cat. It's the kind that will make you laugh all the way through, and you won't realize it's unsettled you until you've finished and set it down. Then you'll pick it up again."--Katie Eelman, Papercuts, Boston, MA
In 2011, Eugen Ruge came to international acclaim when he won the German Book Prize for In Times of Fading Light, his debut novel, which went on to be translated into more than twenty languages. He lives in Berlin.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A witty, philosophical novel by the author of the internationally bestselling In Times of Fading LightSometimes a cat comes into your life when you least expect it.An unnamed writer finds himself in Cabo de Gata, a sleepy, worn-down Andalusian fishing village. He's left behind his life in Berlin, which it turns out wasn't much--an ex-girlfriend, a neighborhood that had become too trendy for his taste. Surrounded by a desolate landscape that is scoured by surprisingly cold winds (not at all what he expected of southern Spain), he faces his daily failures: to connect with the innkeeper or any of the townsfolk, who all seem to be hiding something; to learn Spanish; to keep warm; to write. At last he succeeds in making an unlikely connection with one of the village's many feral cats. Does the cat have a message for him? And will their tenuous relationship be enough to turn his life around?With sharp intelligence and wry humor, Eugen Ruge's Cabo de Gata proposes the biggest questions and illustrates how achieving happiness sometimes means giving oneself up to the foreign and the unknown. A lone writer finds himself in a small Andalusian fishing village trying to put his failed life back together. He meets and befriends one of the many feral cats in the area and believes the creature has a special message for him about how to obtain happiness.
