Cats as a Metaphor For Modern Readers


There is a ferment in the whole network for what is to be read and what not, if a book is in the classification is necessarily a good book or just a matter of marketing and so on. 

According to La Capria the problem is that we are not accustomed to reading books and beautiful that is why we are satisfied with everything. To explain his point of view, the writer Raffaele La Capria uses the example of cats, and domestic "not those of the heroic age in which fed on mice or scraps of food." Writes Raffaele La Capria :

To lazy to do my cats food packaged in cans, and the menu is varied, so many tastes, not just meat or chicken, but also refined combinations of skipjack tuna with papaya, ginseng, fish of the Atlantic, Pacific Ocean fish. I am so disgusted, poor cat, this packaged food that I have to constantly change. Would you like turkey? No? Then fish the Atlantic? Even. Fish of the Pacific? Finally they became so uncertain that no appetite, and to awaken their true instincts have given them fresh fish, crispy anchovies day, small mackerel, fragaglia Mediterranean fish. 

Well they do not recognize them as they had lost their natural instinct. Even the beef tenderloin, cut into small pieces from my plate and offered to them with grace, even that schifavano. Are you a cat or not, or not you are nuts? Nothing, not even the thread. Nothing really more natural they recognized.
He concludes: "Sometimes the metaphor?".
