The Cats of Copenhagen

by James Joyce

Buy on Amazon

The Cats of Copenhagen is a posthumously published short story written by Irish author James Joyce and illustrated by American artist Casey Sorrow. Written on 5 September 1936 in the titular city in a postcard to his grandson Stephen James Joyce, it was not published until 2012, by Ithys Press, when Joyce's work entered the public domain in certain jurisdictions.

Recommended by

"The short story, illustrated by Casey Sorrow in a style reminiscent of Edward Gorey and beautifully typeset by book artist Michael Caine , was only recently rediscovered and makes an offbeat but characteristically masterful addition to Joyce’s well-known body of work."
