It is a story filched using exactly words; mixing dozens of fonts on 20 rough cut pages, matched with 15 ink cartoons. This is a literary lark that spins with the absurdity of all -- all while teasing the moon, oh, and it holds my favorite caricature of a relaxed James Joyce.

This book was first a letter written and mailed by Joyce, to his only grandson Stephen, while James Joyce was hanging out in Zealand and Amager. This letter is a prose poem, a child's story, penned by an already literary God to his The Cats of Copenhagen earthy grandson, now executor, on an August day in I like to imagine Niels Bohr orbiting his new theory of compound nucleuses all while James Joyce purrs on The Cats of Copenhagen his new theory of cats.

Once Joyce had sent his grandson a toy cat stuffed with candy. So the first line in one letter to his grandson states that there are no cats in Copenhagen. What emerges The Cats of Copenhagen a kind of slight and silly grandfather story that helps us appreciate Joyce's irreverence and humor and issues with authority and politics. Makes him likable. Reminds me of the great and stuffy T. Eliot and his Book of Practical Cats. Shelves:reviewedireland. Its smooth pertness and subtle tackling of authorities one can do without represent a charming read, a few minutes of delight. View all 18 comments. Aug 05, Satyajeet rated it it was amazing. Very similar to The Cat and the Devilthis is highly recommended! Joyce thought the world of cats, this was quite evident in the first chapter of Ulyssesin which the very first conversation is between a hungry feline and the kind- hearted protagonist.

Feb 13, Christopher added it. A children's book from Joyce? Wonderful and strange; buttermilk, cigars and all. The language is briefly Joycean, of course!

For me, it's more about keeping a clean copy away The Cats of Copenhagen grubby hands. I bought this book in Naples for my daughter. Unusual note: the The Cats of Copenhagen made all characters cats except for the narrator, who looks like Joyceso although The Cats of Copenhagen text indicates there is a clear difference between cats and police officers, the police The Cats of Copenhagen are drawn as cats.
