A beloved Japanese modern classic that chronicles the author's twenty-year bond with her cat meditating on solitude independence and the writing life. On a cool summer evening in 1977 Mayumi Inaba hears a forlorn cry carried by the breeze of Tokyo's Tamagawa River. She follows the sound to find a newborn kitten just the size of her palm dangling from a fence abandoned. Overcome by tender affection she takes the cat back to the small apartment she shares with her husband and christens her Mii and so begins an ineffable bond. Over the next twenty years we follow Inaba a poet and novelist by moonlight through a lifetime of choices and compromises made in pursuit of quiet solitude and a space to create. Through it all her cat a formidably independent creature in her own right is her confidante and muse. From the late Mayumi Inaba the winner of the Kawabata Yasunari Prize and the Tanizaki Prize Mornings Without Mii is more than a love letter to feline companionship-it is a probing stirring meditation on the forces that enable us to connect to create and to build a life.
