Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism is a short but sweet (and funny!) nonfiction book about dealing with oppressive regimes.
This was pretty fantastic! It’s under 70 pages, but I lost count how many times I laughed out loud or made other audible noises of enjoyment or shook my head in agreement.
There are eleven short essays, each focusing on a type of behavior from our feline friends that might help us in our efforts to resist fascism. There are beautiful line art illustrations throughout the book, and I especially loved those. I kind of want to buy prints to hang up on my wall!
Overall I really enjoyed reading this. However, it does get a smidge repetitive at times, and since the book is so short that really stands out. I’ve been recommended the author’s other book, Welcome to the Stupidpocalypse, which is longer and more-in depth–I’ve already ordered a copy for myself!
If you’re looking for something witty and funny to help you resist oppressive regimes, I highly recommend this one!
