One of Jacques Poulinâs masterpieces, this tender and perceptive tale explores the textures of solitude, compassion, language, fear, and the imagination. Meet Jim: writer suffering from vivid dreams and bouts of writerâs block. Meet Mister Blue, a dignified and prophetic cat and Jimâs sole companion that spring on the Ăle dâOrlĂ©ans. That is, until the day they discover a copy of The Arabian Nights in a cave along the beach. Tinged with heartbreak as well as joy, Mister Blue is a novel of subtle shadows and emotions, of wide-open blue skyâa ballet of the possible.
