Overview
From claws-out critiques to formidable put-downs, no feud is fiercer than a literary one and Literary Catfights is the purrfect collection of the 150 cattiest things writers have said about one another—each cutting remark paired with a photo of a cat every bit as judgmental as the words on the page.
For all their lofty ideals, writers have always had a taste for lacerating commentary, and even the most celebrated authors can’t resist taking a swipe at their peers. In Literary Catfights, the most biting, barbed, and brilliantly mean things writers have said or written about one another are placed alongside stunning photographs of cats who, with their haughty stares and sly smirks, could have written the lines themselves.
No author, from Shakespeare to Sally Rooney, is safe from their peers. Whether it's Flannery O'Connor's eviscerating review of Atlas Shrugged, the David Foster Wallace line that sent Bret Easton Ellis yowling, or Charles Bukowsi's simple, profane dismissal of John Keats, Literary Catfights is the ultimate catnip for anyone who loves gossip, literature, or both, and a rare invitation to sharpen your claws and settle in for a literary history—or hisstory—of the tawdriest distinction.
