In this delightful book, the reader is invited to overhear a series of playful, sharp philosophical debates between the author and her beloved cat. To Sukia sulky, silky feline who believes she is a goddessher owner is simply her high priestess, there to do her bidding. To Sunitia writer, poet, fabulist and feminist iconSuki is a stroppy cat who talks too much. But as they discuss the merits of vegetarianism, or the meaning of happiness, or war, or morality or any topic under the sun, it soon becomes clear that the bond between human and animal is a deep, complex and loving one. Far more than a personal memoir about a dearly departed pet, Sukiis a philosophical novel, full of tender wisdom. It is a unique exploration of the relationship between human and animal. Readers who have enjoyed J. R. Ackerley sMy Dog Tulip, Nilanjana Roy sThe Wildings, or Paul Auster sTimbuktu, will fall in love with the maddening, lovable, unique character that is Suki as seen through the eyes of Suniti Namjoshi, her companion, fellow-traveller and one of the foremost women writers of her generation."

Every retelling of a myth is a reworking of it. Every hearing or reading of a myth is a recreation of it. It is only when we engage with a myth that it resonates, becomes charged and recharged with meaning. And so it is in Building Babel, a book that re-engages with myth through the cyberworld, where worlds intersect and are transformed. Exploratory and experimental, Suniti Namjoshi's work is studied around the world for its transformative creations.
