I am a Cat: A Modern English Translation of Wagahai wa Neko de aru

Told through the dry, observant voice of a nameless household cat, I am a Cat turns an ordinary Meiji-era home into a stage for intellectual vanity, domestic absurdity, and sharp social comedy. Sōseki's narrator watches teachers, students, aesthetes, businessmen, and would-be philosophers circle one another with comic seriousness, revealing a society fascinated by modernity yet still haunted by older habits of class and etiquette. This modern English translation preserves the novel's wit, digressive charm, and satirical bite while presenting the text in a clean ebook edition.
