Raja Rao, Sri K., 1908-2006. The cat and Shakespeare; a tale of India. Drawings by Hide Oshiro. New York: Macmillan, 1965, stated First Printing, 117pp., good dust-jacket BUT with small tear and a few small splotches, original price $3.95, very good green cloth, publisher's review slip laid in, publication date: January 18, 1965. dust-jacket design by Myra Grosof. The Cat and Shakespeare is a gentle, almost teasing fable of two friends -- Govindan Nair, an astute, down-to-earth philosopher and clerk, who tackles the problems of routine living with extraordinary common sense and gusto, and whose refreshing and unorthodox conclusions continually panic Ramakrishna Pai, Nair's friend, neighbour and narrator of the story. This evocative novel brings alive the raw texture of Indian life, and delights in its humour.
