By Raja Rao

The Cat and Shakespeare is a gradual, nearly teasing fantasy of 2 pals — Govindan Nair, an astute, down-to-earth thinker and clerk, who tackles the issues of regimen residing with remarkable logic and gusto, and whose fresh and unorthodox conclusions always panic Ramakrishna Pai, Nair’s buddy, neighbour and narrator of the tale. This evocative novel brings alive the uncooked texture of Indian lifestyles, and delights in its humour.
