Publisher Description One womans journal of single life on the margins.A brilliant collection of Lynne Truss journalism – recording the life of a metropolitan refugee from coupledom. The alternative Bridget Jones. For seven long years, starting in The Listener in 1988 and continuing in The Times and Womans Journal, Lynne Truss has been trying to make her cat laugh. It has been an uphill task, which is why she deserves this book, a recognition of outstanding courage in the face of futility. Along the way, Margins, Single of Life and One Womans Journal have collected a band of devoted fans, yet still the cat remains unimpressed.Never have so many jokes about Kitbits been found in such concentration as in Making the Cat Laugh. But under the headings such as The Single Woman Considers Going Out but Doesnt Fancy the Hassle and The Single Woman Stays at Home and Goes Quietly Mad, we discover a writer not only obsessed with cats, but prone to over-reacting generally - to news stories, shopping, passive smoking, Christmas, coupledom, boyfriends, snails, sheds, Andre Agassi, cooking instructions, requests of Hows the novel going? and personal remarks of any kind. Author Biography Lynne Truss began her writing life as a literary journalist, editing the books section of The Listener magazine between 1986 and 1990. Since then she has kept a high profile as a journalist, writing for The Times as a critic, columnist and sportswriter (shortlisted for Sportswriter of the Year 1997); for Womans Journal (Columnist of the Year, 1996); and more recently as a critic for the Daily Mail and The Sunday Times, where she is a regular book reviewer. She has published six books, including three novels, With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed, Tennysons Gift and Going Loco. Her book on punctuation, Eats, Shoots and Leaves, was the publishing phenomenon of 2003. She has also written many scripts for BBC Radio 4, including dramas, sitcoms and talks. She appears regularly on the network presenting features and taking part in discussions.
