Description

Marc Labriola's Dying Behaviour of Cats, the 2017 Klonsky Award winner, is a daring exploration of the dark nights of the soul for Theo Galli, an agoraphobic imprisoned in his own house for seven years. When hurricane Catalina hits and streets are flooded, a leopard escapes from the devastated zoo to take refuge on Theo's roof, which forces the man to face a media circus fixated on this beast who won't leave the roof and the man who won't leave his house. This first novella forces the protagonist and reader to face hidden darknesses of the heart.
