The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr: Together With a Fragmentary Biography of Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler on Random Sheets of Waste Paper

Synopsis

Tomcat murr is a loveable, self-taught animal who has written his own autobiography. But a printer's error causes his story to be accidentally mixed and spliced with a book about the composer johannes kreisler. As the two versions break off and alternate at dramatic moments, two wildly different characters emerge from the confusion - murr, the confident scholar, lover, carouser and brawler, and the moody, hypochondriac genius kreisler.
