I’m currently [well, not currently currently, obviously] reading a very, very strange book…
“Gun with Occasional Music” by Jonathan Lethem.
It’s a sci-fi crime noir, that features among other things, a talking cat. Not some kinda hallucination, but an actual, talking cat, who learns to read at “Grown up school”.
I actually stopped reading after about 20 pages and jumped online [where would we be without 3G?] to check that it wasn’t the 2nd / 3rd book in a series, as there’s a lot that isn’t explained.
Turns out it’s not. Which I like. I appreciate it when an author just drops you smack bang into the reality they’ve crafted, and expects you to “catch up”.
Anyways - back to the book at hand! [A physical book - from a public library, none the less. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!]
