The Cats of Copenhagen was first written for James Joyces most beloved audience  his only grandson  Stephen James Joyce  and sent in a letter dated September 5  1936. Cats were clearly a common currency between Joyce and his grandson. In early August 1936  Joyce sent Stephen a little cat filled with sweetsa kind of Trojan cat meant to outwit grown-ups. A few weeks later  Joyce penned a letter from Copenhagen that begins Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen. The letter reveals the modernist master at his most playful  yet Joyces Copenhagen has a keen  anti-authoritarian quality that transcends the mere whimsy of a childrens story. Only recently rediscovered  this marks the inaugural U.S. publication of The Cats of Copenhagen  a treasure for readers of all ages. A rare addition to Joyces known body of work  it is a joy to see this exquisite story in print at last.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529688899637,"sku":"ByrdShop_1476708940","price":250.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781476708942.jpg?v=1780941997","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cats-of-copenhagen-9781476708942","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
