He's left behind his life in Berlin, which it turns out wasn't much--an ex-girlfriend, a neighborhood that had become too trendy for his taste. Surrounded by a desolate landscape that is scoured by surprisingly cold winds (not at all what he expected of southern Spain), he faces his daily failures: to connect with the innkeeper or any of the townsfolk, who all seem to be hiding something; to learn Spanish; to keep warm; to write. At last he succeeds in making an unlikely connection with one of the village's many feral cats. Does the cat have a message for him? And will their tenuous relationship be enough to turn his life around?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith sharp intelligence and wry humor, Eugen Ruge's \u003ci\u003eCabo de Gata\u003c\/i\u003e proposes the biggest questions and illustrates how achieving happiness sometimes means giving oneself up to the foreign and the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555977573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eugen Ruge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43644026945717,"sku":"9781555977573","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f74e4fde-fb84-4b08-9f72-79d3523a6fab.jpg?v=1708446090","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cabo-de-gata-9781555977573","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
