Prince of Cats by Ron Wimberly

4.0

Went in expecting something like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and wasn't disappointed. It's formatted much the same way. Prince of Cats was so clever that I had trouble following it at times. Updated to be about rival street gangs and also maybe rap battles and somehow also samurai (if the samurai were in it just for the aesthetic and had no concept of Bushido)? But also written in iambic pentameter, with words I had to stop and look up not infrequently. I loved the entire concept. It's a little niche, but probably one of the best retellings I have read to date.
