Archipelago Books

A nonprofit press devoted to contemporary & classic world literature

A cat doesn’t look at itself when you hold it up to a mirror. It acts as if nothing appeared in the glass. That’s because a cat believes it is invisible. A cat has to believe this, because, when stalking, it has to be invisible in the eyes of its prey. To be a cat you must be invisible and very real at the same time. Worshippers believe this of God.

— Leonard Michaels
