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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055508537584,"sku":"9781555977573","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555977573_p0.jpg?v=1763753643","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555977573","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
