Penny: A Graphic Memoir by Karl Stevens / 152-page paperback with flaps, 7 x 8 inches, published by Chronicle Books / ISBN 9781452183053 *** "Penny is a major literary figure--right up there with Madame Bovary." -- David Sedaris This colorful graphic novel features the philosophical and existential musings of a cat named Penny. Told through a collection of stories, Penny: A Graphic Memoir wanders through her colorful imagination as she recalls her humble beginnings on the streets of New York and waxes poetic about the realities of her sheltered life living in an apartment with her owners. Filled with ennui, angst, and vivid dreams, Penny proves that being a cat is more profound than we once thought. A unique blend of high art and humor, Penny: A Graphic Memoir perfectly portrays one cat's struggles between her animal instincts, her philosophical reflections, and the lush creature comforts of a life with human servants.
