Robert Perišić
Praised by Booker Prize winner David Szalay as a “strange, humane and beautiful book,” A Cat At the End of the World cements Robert Perišić’s reputation as one of the most exciting and important contemporary writers in Europe. Delivered like a fable, this graceful, lyrical novel shifts perspectives between a runaway slave and Scatterwind, a bodiless spirit that moves effortlessly through time and space, from the days of ancient Syracuse to our contemporary era. At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian cat—one of the earliest to be domesticated—through whom Perišić channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society. A Cat at the End of the World was translated by Vesna Marić.
Born in 1969, Robert Perišić is a prominent Croatian poet, writer and journalist whose previous novels include Our Man in Iraq (“A must-read” – The Guardian) and No-Signal Area (“a timely, stateless work, that beckons its readers to step into the light” – The Calvert Journal). Jonathan Franzen has called Perišić “a light bright with intelligence and twinkling with irony, flashing us the news that postwar Croatia not only endures but matters.”
