Description

Cunning, tender, ferocious, underhanded, ingenious, foolish and completely adorable. These words describe the hero of this novel, Sugar, a cat with a keen wit and a reflective nature. This is a love story of epic dimensions between Sugar and Madamigella, his human, a writer with a frenetic and impossibly dispersive life. With wit and a broad repertoire of cultural references, Sugar recounts his days and nights spent with Madamigella in a novel that fits squarely into the illustrious tradition of feline literature a la T.S. Eliot, Poe, Baudelaire, Bukowski and Celine.
