Feline Fridays Series 2: Literary Cats in the Library!

Read about our Literary Cats in Collins Library! This week’s “Feline Fridays” series presents: The Black Cat (Call No.: PS2612 .A1 1944), by Edgar Allen Poe, a short story about a cat named Pluto, and the study of the psychology of guilt and death. A second book, Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce, (Call No.:  PR6019.O9 Z52637 2004) features a pet cat named Boald Tib. This is a story with no real beginning or end (it ends in the middle of a sentence and begins in the middle of the same sentence), and the book is as remarkable for its prose as for its circular structure. Sixty years after its original publication, it remains, in Anthony Burgess’s words, “a great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page.”
