The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto by Mario Vargas Llosa, chapter 1. If it had been less well-written, I'd think 4chan composed it.

I actually have one of these books at home -- they gave it for free with a newspaper. Never read it, though. Are they any good?

The first dozen or so are great. The last dozen or so have been progressively shittier, but I guess that's to be expected since the lady is literally like 100 years old now. But if it's one of the earlier ones, read it! They are pretty amusing little mystery novels, heavy on the (Siamese) cat love.

I have a special place for them in my memories, in that they introduced me to Gilbert and Sullivan as well (the two cats are named Ko-Ko and Yum-Yum).

“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that he had been changed into an adorable kitten.”

The phenomenal success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies inspired a massively popular literary-remix movement. Now Quirk Classics once again charts bold new territory, turning the monster-mash-up formula inside out to infuse Franz Kafka’s horrific masterpiece, “The Metamorphosis,” with the fuzziest, snuggliest, most adorable creatures possible: kittens!

Meet Gregor Samsa, a humble young man who works as a fabric salesman to support his parents and sister. His life goes strangely awry when he wakes up late for work and finds that, inexplicably, he is now a man-sized baby kitten. His family freaks out: Yes, their son is OMG so cute, but what good is cute when there are bills piling up? And how can he expect them to serve him meals every day? If Gregor is to survive this bizarre, bewhiskered ordeal, he’ll have to achieve what he never could before—escape from his parents’ house. Complete with haunting illustrations and a provocative biographical exposé of Kafka’s own secret feline life, The Meowmorphosis will take you on a journey deep into the tortured soul of the domestic tabby.
