I Am a Cat

Synopsis

"a nonchalant string of anecdotes and wisecracks, told by a fellow who doesn't have a name, and has never caught a mouse, and isn't much good for anything except watching human beings in action. " —the new yorker written from 1904 through 1906, soseki natsume's comic masterpiece, i am a cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class japanese society during the meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him.
