Tales of Cat City (illustrated by Gao Rongsheng)
by Written By Lao She And Illustrated By Gao Rongsheng
About This Novel
"Cat City" is Lao She's masterpiece novel. The novel is written in the first person voice, describing the experience of "I" and my companions falling into an absurd city on Mars - Cat City. Cat City was invaded by dwarves. The people in Cat City were numb, compromised, greedy, and selfish. The Cat Country was dark, ugly, and finally extinct. The novel panoramically scans the bad nature of the people of the Cat Country, reveals the brutality of the invaders, and implicitly implies Lao She's appeal for the establishment of human beings in modern China. The novel has a strong sense of irony and science fiction. Lao She said that "Cat City" is a nightmare. It records several extremely dark pages in the history of a civilization, but it is unique, full of imagination, and has everlasting charm.
