The Cats of Copenhagen is a posthumously published short story written by Irish author James Joyce and illustrated by American artist Casey Sorrow.
[1] The story describes the city of Copenhagen, Denmark, where "things are not as they seem", and is critical of "fat cats" and other authority figures.
Ithys Press published their fine arts edition of The Cats of Copenhagen in January 2012.
[2] This edition features original pen and ink illustrations by Casey Sorrow,[3][4] letterpress typeset by Michael Caine,[5] and handmade paper marbling and binding of Christopher Rowlatt.
[6] The publication attracted controversy, as the Zürich James Joyce Foundation's Fritz Senn expressed disappointment that the script of The Cats of Copenhagen had been copied from a letter held at the Foundation without consultation or discussion.
