Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek.   ) scaredda | Aug 4, 2018 |  It's interesting to read William Burroughs's observations and insights about the cats he befriended throughout his life. Heartfelt, candid and mostly unsentimental, each fragment offers food for thought or a snapshot memory. All told this curious little book is worth a read, even if you are not a fan of the man and his work. But if you have a soft spot for the true nature of the feline, and if you enjoy aphoristic writing tinged with dark humour and frankness, then perhaps this slim volume should slink its way onto your bookshelf. (  ) BlackGlove | Jan 20, 2018 | The Burroughsian pederasty and heroin references are mild, but dogs get a real, real bad rep, and that's just tough to take.

There is an unexpected side to William Burroughs - the author of weird and disturbing fictions had a great fondness for cats. This is his earnest appreciation of the cats he knew, a record of his dreams of cats, and a meditation on the long, mysterious relationship between cats and their human hosts. In The Cat Inside, Burroughs is touching when writing of the many strays he took in over the years, disdainful of dogs ('self-righteous as a lynch mob'), always erudite and surprisingly caring - it is a genuine revelation, for Burroughs fans and cat lovers alike. 'Heartwarming anecdotes . . . Burroughs ventures galaxies away from his usual twisted literary turf.' Time 'Burroughs's contact with cats put him in touch with himself.'
