Delivered like a fable, A Cat At the End of the World shifts perspectives between a runaway slave and the Scatterwind, a bodiless spirit that moves effortlessly through time and space, from the days of ancient Syracuse to our contemporary era. At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian cat— one of the earliest to be domesticated— through whom Robert Periš channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society.____"Perišić draws on mythology and history in this immersive if arcane tale . . . Classicists will find lots to love." —Publishers Weekly______"Perišić takes his time in pulling the threads of the story together . . . A graceful meditation on history and nature by an author well worth knowing." —Kirkus Reviews
