This month's meeting (April) will be on Cat Country, by Lao She. This book deals with the author's thoughts on government and society based on his own life in pre-revolutionary China, and has an almost classic status among Lao's Chinese fans, but is still only starting to get recognition in the west.

The book details an unlikely voyage to mars and the shocking discovery of cat-like martians with their own society. I am currently unable to find an official English language audiobook copy, which is unfortunate, but such is all too often my lot in life. Wish me well friends and comrades.

Below is a link to one translator's commentary on working with Lao She's peculiar writing style in English:
