    <![CDATA[ <p><em>Every Person On The Planet</em> tells the delightful story of Edmund and Rosemary, an average couple who lead an uneventful life, and what happens when one fateful day they decide to throw a party for the holidays. As their guest list becomes longer and longer, they become paralyzed with the fear of forgetting anyone. So naturally, there's only one thing to do--they invite every person on the planet. They never expect that the whole world will show. But what happens when the whole world does?<p><em>Every Person On The Planet</em> is hilarious, touching, thoughtful, and uniquely beautiful. We think this is an altogether perfect book and you will too.<p> </p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> This groundbreaking, provocative exploration of the inner lives of cats began five years ago, when Bruce Eric Kaplan, armed only with pen and pad of paper, boldly set out across the United States to interview cats of all kinds -- including some really gross ones that very few people other than him wouldn't have been put out by. The result is perhaps the largest and most ambitious narrative survey of the emotional existences of cats ever attempted. <p> The author asked this wildly disparate group of felines the same simple question -- who was the cat that had the most significant effect on your life and why? Cats are usually asked more mundane things, such as &quot;Why did you rip up that sofa, you bad kitty?&quot; So this was a rare opportunity for them to really unburden themselves. Their answers are alternately shocking, hilarious, and touching, but all of them are fascinating. They really are. Trust us. Seriously. <p> Noted writer and artist Bruce Eric Kaplan took down each cat's response in his or her very own words (as best as possible considering his lack of shorthand experience) and sketched portraits of each cat in his own inimitable style. <p> As you read what these cats have to say about their loves and losses, and gaze at their haunting images, you will be struck by the beauty and mystery that is life itself. Or at the very least, like a cheap little plaything that emits the subtle aroma of catnip, this book will divert you from your own miserable little existence for a few minutes or so, and that's nothing to sneeze at.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Bruce Eric Kaplan, cartoonist for <em>The New Yorker</em>, is a former writer for <em>Seinfeld</em>, and it shows--Kaplan's style of humor is observational, playing on modern foibles and putting new spins on clichés. His taglines are droll, slice-of-life bits of dialogue juxtaposed with slightly surreal situations. The Angel of Death bickers with his wife, a woman discusses the merits of dating a Cro-Magnon man, and preschoolers fret about innuendo on the playground. Kaplan's graphic style is spare, using bold lines, hollow &quot;Annie&quot;-style eyes for his protagonists, and very little clutter--nothing to distract the reader from the joke at hand. Which is a good thing, because the joke at hand is invariably hilarious. <em>--Ali Davis</em> ]]>
