Feline Philosophy draws on Gray's own wide reading to give fascinating examples of the complex and intimate links that have defined how we react to and behave with this most unlikely 'pet'.
John Gray's most recent book is the highly praised Seven Types of Atheism; his other books include Straw Dogs, Black Mass, The Soul of the Marionette and The Silence of Animals. He has kept feline companions for over thirty years.
The intellectual cat's pyjamas ... Gray's is the perfect book for
the estranging oddness of the pandemic.
*The Observer*
Why can't a human be more like a cat? That is the question threaded
through this vivid patchwork of philosophy, fiction, history and
memoir ... Feline Philosophy is a wonderful mixture of flippancy
and profundity, astringency and tenderness, wit and lament.
*Daily Telegraph*
Engaging, amusing, perceptive and untimely, in the most admirable
Nietzschean sense.
*New Statesman*
An elegant philosophical study of the good life ... one of the most
important thinkers alive ... It's a mark of the book's subtlety
that you're not quite sure how seriously to take him.
*The Times*
A scratching, spitting, and finally purring tour de force.
