Cat Person by Kristen Roupenian — Review

The short story “Cat Person" by Kristen Roupenian was published in December 2017 in The New Yorker. It's a narration about a brief relationship between a twenty-year-old girl and an older man.

As their relationship develops, the girl’s imagination moves rapidly between imagining the guy as the desired person who is impressed by her young beauty to imagining him as a dangerous and murderous brute.

The story is analyzed by many famous mass media such as The BBC, The Washington Post and The Atlantic. It also attracts attention from a large internet audience. This shows that the way this kind of love story is written is related to real feelings which people often experience.
