About the Book

Love in Lowercase

written by Francesc Miralles, translated by Julie Wark

When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year’s Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments --- until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barcelona apartment and refuses to leave.

The appearance of Mishima, a stray, brindle-furred cat, becomes the catalyst that leads Samuel from the comforts of his favorite books, foreign films and classical music to places he’s never been (next door) and to people he might never have met (a neighbor with whom he’s never exchanged a word).

Even better, the Catalan cat leads him back to the mysterious Gabriela, whom he thought he’d lost long before, and shows him, in this international bestseller for fans of THE ROSIE PROJECT, THE SOLITUDE OF PRIME NUMBERS and THE GUEST CAT, that sometimes love is hiding in the smallest characters.
