ZZGreat Writers & the Cats that Owned Them:SusannahFullerton
About
In this illustrated talk, author Susannah Fullerton will discuss the 17 authors and their cats which feature in her new book. From Dickens to Hemingway, discover how these cats inspired literary works, brought comfort, and became cherished muses.Cats may not write books, but they’ve certainly helped quite a few get written…
In the silence of a study, the cat is the perfect companion. It doesn’t demand attention or need to be taken for walks, yet is there for comfort, pleasure and even inspiration.
Throughout history, famous writers have loved and been inspired by their cats.
Susannah Fullerton is an author, literary lecturer and leader of literary tours. She has been President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia for 30 years, and was awarded an OAM for her Services to Literature.
