“Witty and engaging, 'Ulysses S. Cat' traverses the land of animals but also gives the reader a beautifully intimate sense of Simon himself. It functions as a sort of memoir-by-creature, and a delightful one at that. It's a book to cherish."
—Susan Orlean
“Scott Simon’s work, filled with irresistible, heartfelt encounters and journeys with animals, from family hearth to hot spots around the world, will bring you insights and joy.”
—Amy Tan
“A charming, thoughtful pleasure for any animal lover.”
