Describing himself simply as "a book-loving writer," Ülkü Tamer spent years penning newspaper columns that invariably focused on his two greatest passions: the books he adored and the cats that wrapped themselves around his life. Of Cats And Chronicles (Kediler ve Kitaplar) serves as the third volume of his collected writings, bringing these two central themes together. In this extensive compilation, Tamer discusses a wide array of literature with excitement, curiosity, and common sense—ranging from the works of his close literary friends to psychology texts, Native American women's tales, and even award-winning cartoon collections and cookbooks.

Reading this collection is akin to being a welcomed guest in Ülkü Tamer’s own home. As he metaphorically pulls a book from his massive library to tell you about it, you also bear witness to his warm, everyday conversations with his beloved cat, Bico. It is a cozy, intimate space where Tamer exclusively discusses the people, literature, and feline companions he loves, occasionally drifting into fond memories or interpreting current events through his unique, poetic lens. Ultimately, this collection offers readers a crystal-clear view into the heart of Tamer’s world, built entirely upon the comfort of cats and the magic of reading.
