Condition: G in G DJ ex-library. Watercolors James McMullan (illustrator). 2nd ptg. Laid in obituary of Lessing. She was the oldest recipient of the Nobel literature prize (88). Here in a series of captivating interconnected vignettes we meet the cats that have slinked, bullied, and charmed their way into Lessing's life: the farm and feral cats of her S. African childhood, the London house cats, prowling toms, and the showers of kittens, the city strays (such as Rufus the new addition to her gallery). She tells their stories, their exploits, rivalries, terrors, and affections, ancient gestures and learned behaviors with vivid simplicity, and tells as well the story of herself in relation to cats: the way animals affect her and she them, the communication that grows possible between them, a language of gesture, mood and desire as eloquent finally as the spoken word.
