In the Company of Animals: Emma Straub on Cats and Writing

Writer Emma Straub reflects on the bond between artists and animals: Are pets worthwhile subjects? What roles do companion animals play in a life devoted to the imagination? What do our relationships with animals reveal about ourselves? This video was created for The Morgan Library & Museum's exhibition In the Company of Animals (http://www.themorgan.org/animals), which explores the ways in which the artists, writers, and composers have used animals to think and create.
