About This Novel
"The Cat, Shozo and Two Women" is a humorous sketch novella by Japanese literary master Junichiro Tanizaki. After being kicked out of the house, Pinzi, who was not liked by her husband Zhuang Zao and her mother-in-law, came up with a clever plan to return to the family: she wrote to her husband's second wife Fuzi, asking for the family cat Lily to be given to her. Lily is Zhuang Zao's favorite cat, and they eat and sleep together. Fuzi also complains about Zhuang Zao's obsession with cats, and joins forces with her mother-in-law to force Zhuang Zao to give the cat to Pinzi. Pinzi finally conquered Lily, and her husband followed suit as expected... Cats are like women, women are like cats, and the men who are at a loss among them are a vivid family comedy that makes people laugh.
