Koty należą do ulubionych zwierząt Japończyków, choć dawniej przypisywano im nadnaturalne zdolności: umiejętność zmiany kształtu, chodzenia na dwóch łapach, wypijania krwi swoich właścicieli, a także wyciągania zmarłych z grobów.

"Miasto kotów" to zbiór dziesięciu opowiadań autorstwa ośmiu japońskich autorów, którzy w różny sposób przedstawiają te zwierzęta: jako bohaterów baśni, groźne potwory, a nawet upiory czy projekcję niespokojnego umysłu.

La nebbia fumosa è carica di detriti chimici delle città industriali. Questo volume comprende anche un racconto di qualche anno prima e molto diverso, "La formica argentina", che l'autore ha voluto affiancare a "La nuvola di smog" per un'affinità strutturale e morale. Qui il male di vivere viene dalla natura: le formiche che infestano la riviera.

Salman Rushdie guarda a due mondi, l'Est e l'Ovest - due mondi che gli appartengono e di cui è a un tempo interprete e testimone - per raccontarci con gli strumenti della letteratura ciò che li unisce e li divide, la Storia in cui si trovano uniti e le incomprensioni, comiche e tragiche, che li separano. È in un movimento continuo tra il regno esotico dell'immaginario, dove l'Occidente sembra talvolta cercare la verità, il regno della modernità e del progresso, dove l'Oriente spera talvolta di trovare la salvezza, che si sviluppa questo libro.
