En la novela El gato que venía del cielo de Takashi Hiraide nos encontramos ante los recuerdos de una vida acelerada que se contrastan con la mansedumbre entregada por el barrio, por una casa y por un gato hasta el punto que parece que quien más comprende al hombre es ese animal más que cualquier persona.

Welcome back, Literary Slummers, to another episode of Shelf Aware, the podcast where we delve into books outside our comfort zone. This week we wrapped up Em’s unit on books where the animal dies with The Guest Cat. This book was not exactly what we planned on reading, and not a lot happened in it, but Anna was surprisingly successful with her choice. Join us next week for another Morph Monday episode! A very special thank you to Ben Cope for our theme song! Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/fretwiz.

I Storytelpodden pratar vi om böcker och allt som har med böcker att göra. Vi lyfter upp nyheter, plockar fram gamla godingar och ger våra bästa tips! Vi passar dessutom på att bjuda in författare, inläsare och andra spännande personer för intervjuer och diskussioner. Den här veckan pratar vi djur i böcker och varför det är en populär men nästan lite skämmig genre. Avsnittets boktips är Gubbe och katt - en kärlekshistoria av Nils Uddenberg med Torsten Wahlund. Bibliotekskatten Dewey inläst av Babben Larsson. Längtan bor i mina steg av Klara Zimmergren. Gästkatten av Takashi Hiraide inläst av Anna Maria Käll. Hunden av Kerstin Ekman inläst av Helena Brodin. Och så fick vi en intervju med favoritinläsaren Björn Granath som just nu läser in den urmysiga romanserien "I vår Herres Hage" om veterinären James Herriot i Yorkshire, som släpps i sommar.
