The Strangers Among Us

by Caroline Picard

Artist and Author Caroline Picard has a lot on her mind. In her slender book, The Strangers Among Us, Picard locates us in a world where a love for cats, philosophy, and people intertwine in surprising and emotional ways. Picard seamlessly weaves the personal and the academic in an essay that skips through time using cats as the yarn that brings memories of love, scholarship, and art together in a most impressive tapestry.
