If you like cats (or even if
you don’t) you’ll like “ALL
MY PATIENTS ARE
UNDER THE BED” by Dr
Louis J. Camuti, a venerable
veterinarian in New York Ci-
ty who abandoned regular
office hours for his practice
many years ago and makes
house calls on all his patients
during the afternoon and
evening hours. Accompanied
by his wife who acts as
chauffeur of their
automobile with the distinc-
tive license plate "CAT”, he
still makes his exhausting
rounds at the age of M. He
feels his patients are more
comfortable in their own en-
vironment although with few
exceptions, be is no more
popular with tus patients
than he would be had they
been crammed into a carrier
and brought to the strange
world of sounds and smells
of a clinic Cats are his.
favorites but his expertise on
urban wildlife (he has
treated every kind of animal
from honey bears to ocelots)
has led him to the conclusion
that “if an animal can fit
through an apartment door,
someone in New York City
will have one as a pet." The
book is full of sparkling good
humor and his love of
animals. He writes with
fondness aooui the myths
and mystiques of “cat peo-
ple” in particular but you
will meet poodles to St. Ber-
nards in this interesting
book.
Science Fiction
Seven of the most brilliant
science fiction novels writ-
ten by H.G. Wells comprise
“THE COMPLETE
SCIENCE FICTION
TREASURE OF H.G.
WELLS”. The Preface was
written especially for the
coUection by Mr. Wells and
in it he puts forth his convic-
tions on the writing of
science fiction. In his case,
the stories he wrote were for
reading enjoyment and not
as predictions of things to
come. The first story in the
“TREASURY” is "The In-
visible Man’ -the disastrous
and ultimately tragic adven-
ture of an ambitious young
man who makes himself in-
visible. The second, “The
Island of Dr. Moreau" is, to
me rather gruesome. He
wrote it to express his vision
of the aimless torture in
creation. His famous "War
of the Worlds” is included
the story that frightened
millions of Americans when
presented by Orson Welles
one evening on radio. All of
the stories are entertaining
and visual enjoyment is add-
ed by the inclusion of pic-
tures reprinted from his
original texts.
“COLD COMFORT”, a
novel by David R. Slavitt, is
a chilling story of Stanley
Miller, a widowed suburban
dry cleaner whose one joy in
life is his son, Howie, a stu-
dent at Fargale College.
Suddenly, he is jolted by a
late-night phone call dispas-
sionately infonnting him
that Howie has died in a
freak Hell Night accident.
Stunned and confused by
the unexpected tragedy in
his ordinary life, Stanley
seeks explanations and
justifications to assuage his
overpowering grief and put
to rest Itis growing suspi-
cions. But it is cold comfort
he receives from the college
authorities, more interested
in hushing up the affair and
getting on with their fund-
raising activities. Even the
police turn a deaf ear as
small-town politics are in-
volved and they are content
to call the death an accident
and avoid a possible scandal.
Blocked at every turn by
the college’s power, wealth
and influence, Stanley
methodically plots a classic
revenge and as he carries it
out, he accomplishes what
everyone who has ever suf-
fered an injustice without
recourse or felt the crushing
weight of the system has
wanted to do in one manner
or another. The novel is a
superb contemporary
thriller and K is a powerful
statement about many of our
academic institutions and
their facade of moral
authority i '
