Oliver Sodon imagines Jeoffrey as a large orange tabby with a white bib who was brought to Smart by an asylum employee who thought that having the company of a cat might help to calm him. But he also gives him a colorful prior life in the city of London. Born in a cupboard in a brothel, he was the darling of Nancy, one of the working girls, until a police raid forced him out on the streets. There, he encounters many adventures and meets a number of celebrities of the day, including Samuel Johnson's cat Hodge. Sodon gives us a colorful account of London life along the way and a detailed account of conditions in the asylum for both Jeoffrey and his master. After Smart's death, he retires to a comfortable life in the countryside for the rest of his days.
If you love cats or the Jeoffrey section of "Jubilate Agno," you will surely enjoy this little gem.… (mehr)
