We are the cats within us. We are the cats that cannot walk alone, and for us, there is only one place.
A reflection on the long-standing, mysterious interdependence between cats and humans, the origin of which Burroughs traces back to the Egyptian worship of the "animal other," and at the same time a harsh commentary on the relationship between animals and humans, the great destroyer of the environment, who mercilessly exterminates one species after another, steadily heading towards his own extinction.
Notes from diaries and dreams. Thoughts and images. The small concerns for the creatures with velvet paws that we must protect, that support humans, that comfort them and bring them joy, much joy.
"The Cat Within Us" also reveals the unknown, gentler side of William Burroughs, and is a true revelation both for the author's readers and for cat lovers who will adore it.
