Cat Rubin, Theodore Isaac

A psychological tour-de-force, Cat takes the reader into the strange and terrifying world of the catatonic, a young man lost in the silent frozen isolation of the deeply withdrawn. This man, who has no control over his body, whose mind is charged with the tensions of a tragedy oso terrible that he cannot consciously remember it, is the center of a world. Dimly, he perceives the existence of the doctor and nurses who are trying to awaken him. Then, slowly at first, he begins to gain control of his past. Out of the horror of his isolation he reaches out toward life. And the miracle of healing has begun.
