Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An acerbic tale of marital warfare and emotional estrangement, in a brilliant new translationIn the oppressive silence of the sitting room, the woman finally smoothed out the paper and, without putting on her glasses, read the two words her husband had written:The cat.Amidst the din of their… Parisian neighbourhood, mile and Marguerite live in total silence. After a hasty marriage in their sixties, their uneasy peace was shattered when mile's beloved cat mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead. Branding his wife the culprit, mile's retaliation against Marguerite's cherished parrot sparked a silent battle of wills. Now they live parallel lives, communicating only through spiteful notes, mocking glances and mute accusations. As their suspicion and resentment mount, this bitter game of psychological warfare becomes a twisted necessity, binding them together in a relentless cycle of torment from which there can only be one escape.First published in 1967, The Cat is a masterful exploration of marital discord, loneliness and the absurdity of human relationships, painting a vivid portrait of two souls trapped in quiet desperation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Why are Emile and Marguerite Bouin still married? They cannot stand each other. This is evident from the moment we meet them, isolated and wordless before a beautiful fire. Their only correspondence is an occasional invective jotted on a scrap of paper--this discreetly flic…ked across the room to the recipient's lap. A bizarre situation to be sure, but ideal for Simenon. Taking marriage born of a desperate need for companionship and following it to its devastation eight years later, Simenon patiently makes hate almost as alluring as love.
