Literary Catfights

For all their lofty ideals, writers have always had a taste for claws-out commentary, and even the most celebrated authors can’t resist taking a swipe at their peers. In Literary Catfights, the most biting, barbed, and brilliantly mean things writers have said or written about one another are placed alongside stunning photographs of cats whose haughty stares and sly smirks could have written the lines themselves. Whether you’re feline curious about what Flannery O’Connor said about Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, have a purr-gent need to know what T. S. wrote about Henry James, or are paws-itively desperate for the book reviews that sent many a brawling writer to court, Literary Catfights is the ultimate catnip for anyone who loves gossip, literature, or both, and a rare invitation to sharpen your claws and settle in for a literary hiss-tory of epic proportions.
