FELINE CONTEMPLATIONS OF THE SPIRITUAL IN DAVID MICHIE’S THE DALAI LAMA’S CAT
FELINE CONTEMPLATIONS OF THE SPIRITUAL IN DAVID MICHIE’S THE DALAI LAMA’S CAT

Summary/Abstract: The paper sets out to review the aspects that make David Michie’s novels a harmonious blend of various types of writing and thus a triumph: spirituality/philosophy, humor, honest introspection, romance and the presence of a cat as the center of everything which is a recipe for success nowadays. We will dwell on those facets which are more prominent, namely the transcendent and the philosophy of mindfulness, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, humor in connection with the specificities of the universe of a feline as a miraculous spice added as key ingredient of an effective and popular writing. We would like to outline the play upon seriousness and playfulness to the purpose of revealing how they make a perfectly symphonic whole.
