About The Book
From the winner of the National Book Foundations' 2000 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters comes a "sweet, funny . . . thought–provoking" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) collection of short stories.
As in his most recent major fiction collections, One More for the Road (1999) and Driving Blind (1997), Ray Bradbury has once again pulled together a stellar group of stories sure to delight listeners of all ages. In The Cat's Pyjamas we are treated to a treasure trove of Bradbury gems old and new –– eerie and strange, nostalgic and bittersweet, searching and speculative –– all but two of which have never been published before. The Cat's Pyjamas is a joyous celebration of the lifelong work of a literary legend.

Raves and Reviews
"All proof that the incomparable Bradbury was a man of countless voices."
– —Kirkus
"Four top-tier narrators give voice to the many comic, bittersweet, and downright dark moods of one of America’s most celebrated authors in this short story sampler. Shaun Taylor-Corbett breezes through the hilariously pointed “Hail to the Chief,” in which a congressman loses the deed to the United States. Cary Hite gives a straightforward reading of Bradbury’s 1946 story “Chrysalis,” about two young men, one Black and one white, who meet on a California beach. Janina Edwards finds a gentle, easy delivery as a young couple discover a healing kitten in “The Cat’s Pajamas,” while Jacques Roy provides a sense of calm dread in “All My Enemies Are Dead” and “The Completist,” where the ordinary suddenly becomes the macabre."
