Brian tries to be an instrument of good: working at a non-profit in the Bronx, volunteering, participating in charity events and heeding the wisdom of inspiring sages, before a disturbing event from his past forces him to confront who he once was. In this third novel from acclaimed novelist Daniel Damiano (The Woman in the Sun Hat, Graphic Nature), Advice from a Cat explores the complexities of someone whose attempts to right a past wrong is challenged when that very past resurfaces - and when guilt and shame threaten to submerge the very benevolence being used to suppress it. "A novel that is both inspiring and unsettling. - ...a poignant exploration of guilt, redemption, and the complex nature of altruism gone awry. - Damiano has written a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that explores how far one person is willing to go to absolve himself. Its nuanced portrayal of human fragility makes it a compelling read for anyone interested in the psychology of redemption and the fine line between selflessness and obsession." - Sunday's Mail
