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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugen Ruge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155597757X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555977573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/11\/2016","brand":"Eugen Ruge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410740015359,"sku":"9781555977573","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ee3a70c-8b19-4b34-ac6e-00f11a94e61a.jpg?v=1697537539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cabo-de-gata-eugen-ruge-9781555977573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
