In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table”—as far from the Captain’s Table as can be—with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: one man talks with them about jazz and women, another opens the door to the world of literature. The narrator’s elusive, beautiful cousin Emily becomes his confidante, allowing him to see himself “with a distant eye” for the first time, and to feel the first stirring of desire. Another Cat’s Table denizen, the shadowy Miss Lasqueti, is perhaps more than what she seems. And very late every night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and his fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever.
As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy’s adult years, it tells a spellbinding story—by turns poignant and electrifying—about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.

評分 評分这是萨缪尔.贝克特的话，但是我搞不清是哪本书或者戏剧里面的了。 有没有知道的人可以科普下？还有这句话的原文有人知道吗？ 意思我还在参透中，始终感到很一知半解。 至于猫桌这本书，那肯定是胜不过英国病人的。只有这封信我很喜欢，多 少透露出英国病人的神采。
評分这个故事就像是一只万花筒，Oronsay的旅程只是那个外面的壳，每一个猫桌上的客人都是三棱镜上的一个切面，带着他们的过往与将来，形成深邃而缤纷的流动画面。 叙述者在书中接近尾声的时候有一段话是这样说的： As members of an audience we should never feel ourselves wis...
