** Longlisted for The Center for Fiction's best debut novel of 2019
** With the hypnotic intensity of Emily Fridlund's The History of
Wolves and Fiona McFarlane's The Night Guest, Katherine Forbes
Riley has created a mesmerizing love story, in lush, gorgeous
prose, that examines art, science, and the magic of human
chemistry. "Teeming with lush imagery and mystical settings, and
brimming with alluring magical realism, Riley's tale is a beguiling
journey of discovery and recovery." - Booklist Haunting and
lyrical, The Bobcat is Katherine Forbes Riley's magical debut novel
in which Laurelie, a young art student who suffers in the aftermath
of a sexual assault, has grown progressively more isolated and
fearful. She transfers from her busy city university to a small
college in rural Vermont, where she retreats into her vivid
imagination, experiencing the world through her art. Most
comfortable in the company of the child for whom she babysits, and
most at ease in the woods, Laurelie has shunned any connection with
her peers. One day, while exploring the woods, she and her young
charge encounter an injured pregnant bobcat - and the hiker who has
been following it for hundreds of miles. In the hiker and his
feline companion Laurelie recognizes someone as reclusive and wary
as herself. The hiker, too, finds human companionship painful to
endure, yet he is drawn to wounded Laurelie the way he is drawn to
the bobcat. As Laurelie moves toward recovery and reconnection she
also finds her voice as an artist, and a sense of purpose, maybe
even a future, comes into sight. Then the child goes missing in the
woods, threatening the bobcat, the hiker, and the fragile peace
Laurelie has constructed.
