Henri rhymes with ennui: Reflections on “The Existential Musings of an Angst Filled Cat” http://blogs.citypaper.com/index.php/...
This is a fun coffee table book for cat lovers. What started as a film school project has developed a fun following through social media. Now the digital is put to paper. Fun stuff!
I think I will take a nap rather than write a review. What rhymes with ennui?
