Big Cats opens with "Charlotte," in which a young girl with a broken pelvis spies on her voluptuous neighbor during a long, hot summer night, setting the tone of irrepressible curiosity and yearning that is evident throughout the collection. In "Get Away from Me, David," a bank manager tries to overcome his haunted past as he deals with the aftermath of a minor earthquake and the body of a customer who died in the lobby. "Big Cats" pits two teenage girls against each other in an escalating catfight at the zoo where they work, culminating in a blowout in front of the lion cage.

Praise for Big Cats

Praise for Holiday Reinhorn:

  • "Vivid, witty and very fresh, Big Cats conjures a palpable world in striking language, always cordial to the reader, never false, flat or borrowed." - Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead

  • " Each of these pieces is distinguished by Reinhorn's acute ear for the vernacular and fresh take on the human condition. Raucous and full of bristling energy." - Kirkus Review

  • "The world of Holiday Reinhorn's fiction is tough and sometimes violent, but her characters are always equal to it, even when they are very young. She is a first-rate writer: original, surprising, and wonderfully honest about America in the troubled twenty-first century." - Alison Lurie, author of Imaginary Friends and Foreign Affairs

  • "Alcoholics, prima donnas, sinners, and a courier of horse semen - the narrators in Big Cats whisper to use from the edges of a smoldering hysteria. Big Cats is startling, hilarious, and exhausting." - Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See

  • "Imagine Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer translated to the 21st century as two pubescent girls, and you get some idea of 'Big Cats,' one of the many fine stories in Reinhorn's Carveresque collection." - Gore Vidal
