Crack open this book and prepare to have your mind blown by the reality of this very strange tale - PEN/Hemingway and O.


Henry Prize-winning author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk and Brief Encounters with Che Guevara: StoriesA pitch-perfect, exhilarating work about one of the strangest chapters in the American experience, one so exciting that even the postscript rivets.A stroke of narrative genius - Booklist (Starred Review)A riveting international chase between a tenacious but paranoid cat and a wily but delusional mouse.
