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.

Two original pieces were written specifically for The Cat's Pajamas: the play "Come Back, Dr. Sarcophagus," and the short story "Fucking Justice."
