A Fun Little Book for Terrible Times — International Bestseller
By Stewart “Brittlestar” Reynolds
Hardcover | eBook | Audiobook
About the Book
When the world seems upside-down, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is take a nap.
In Lessons From Cats For Surviving Fascism, cats become our teachers in resilience: how to ignore absurdity, keep dignity, reclaim small joys, and resist in ways both surprising and absurd.
This book mixes dry humour, sharp observation, and just enough seriousness to remind you why hope matters. Whether you’re doomscrolling, quietly resisting, or just need to laugh, this is your manual (with paws).
