About the Book

Terminal baptism, erotic performance art, and economics with literal voodoo.

An integrity gene is harvested from the brain of an unwilling schoolteacher. Christopher Columbus lands in modern day Manhattan. John Wayne seeks treatment from a cinematic oncologist. Sports fans save the universe every day.

The Cat's Pajamas is a provocative collection of satiric short fiction from Nebula and World Fantasy award winning author James Morrow. Included is Auspicious Eggs, in which ritual procreation and compulsory abortion are mandated by the Catholic Church. Two original pieces were written specifically for The Cat's Pajamas: the play, Come Back, Dr. Sarcophagus, and the short story, Fucking Justice.
