Sleeping with Cats is the intimate memoir of acclaimed author and poet, Marge Piercy whose bestselling novels include Woman on the Edge of Time, Body of Glass and Braided Lives. Focusing on her emotional life, rather than her literary or political adventures, here she reveals the life behind her poems and novels, and the origins of her remarkable literary career. Piercy includes several of her memorable poems and revisits the people, the circumstances, and the actions which inspired her to write them, laying bare the origins of both her fiction and poetry. Throughout her life are her cats, steadfast companions who remain while the people in her life come and go. Always honest and thoroughly compelling, Sleeping with Cats is a fascinating account of this extraordinary and complex woman's life.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'Here is somebody with the guts to go into the deepest core of herself, her time, her history, and risk more than anybody else has so far, just out of a love for the truth and a need to tell it.' - Thomas Pynchon 'Marge Piercy is shameless; that is, she is that rarity, a free person. Her freedom enables her to write about her brilliant, fascinating life with honesty and gusto. It also enables her to create an existence rooted in the most humane values. She is magnificent on the subject of cats. I loved this memoir.' Marilyn French 'Piercy writes with high intelligence, love for the world, ethical passion and innate feminism.' Adrienne Rich 'One of the most important writers of our time'. Erica Jong
