Thread: Cat short story

    Cat short story

    I just read the most recent collection of short stories by T.C. Boyle. The title of the collection is *Tooth and Claw* and the title story is about a man who "wins" a serval cat in a bet at a bar. It's a fine little story - and a cautionary tale about why you don't "own" wild cats. Just a remark in case there are other avid readers here.

    This sounds like a nice book, I wonder if it is available in Australia. Could you tell me who published it please?

    I post from work, and I have a poor memory, so I can't say the publisher - I got the book from a library. The author is quite celebrated in the US, but I don't know about his international acclaim. My guess is that he would be known.
