Overview

Fiction. Translated from the Italian by Martha King. Winner of the prestigious Viareggio Literary Prize in 1984, Tosca dei gatti [TOSCA, THE CAT LADY] offers the reader one of the most intriguing characters emanating from the pen of Gina Lagorio. Realizing she is destined to a life alone, Tosca spends her senior years among numerous cats, all of whom are the offspring of her dearly departed feline Miciamore (Love Cat). Told from the perspective of the journalist Gigi, Lagorio offers her reader a double-layered text, challenging all the more the reader's interaction with the narrative.
