<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Marge Piercy, a writer who is highly praised as both a poet and a novelist, turns her gaze inward as she shares her thoughts on life and explores her development as a woman and writer. She pays tribute to the one loving constant that has offered her comfort and meaning even as the faces and events in her life have changed -- her beloved cats.</p><p>With searing honesty, Piercy tells of her strained childhood growing up in a religiously split, working-class family in Detroit. She examines her myriad friendships and relationships, including two painful early marriages, and reveals their effects on her creativity and career. More than a reminiscence of things past, however, <em>Sleeping With Cats</em> is also a celebration of the present and the future, as Piercy shares her views on aging, creativity, and finding a lasting and improbable love with a man fourteen years younger than herself.</p><p>A chronicle of the turbulent and exciting journey of one artist's life, <em>Sleeping With Cats</em> is a deeply intimate, unforgettable story.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An enriching pleasure . . . a lovingly written memoir by a woman in touch with what matters."--<em>Washington Post</em><br><br>"Marge Piercy holds up a mirror to modern life."--<em>Chicago Tribune</em><br><br>"Marge Piercy is one of our boldest and most prolific writers."--Los Angeles Times Book Review<br><br>"The personal and the political recollected with honesty and passion."--Kirkus Reviews<br>
