The Cat Herder
The Cat Herder
A personal, darkly humorous memoir about survival – and everything that followed.
About the book
Some lives follow a carefully drawn plan. Geir Erik Mortil’s life required something closer to herding cats.
It begins in the early hours of 5 September 1986, when the Caledonien hotel fire turns an ordinary night shift into a fight for survival. But the fire is only the beginning. From years at the Norwegian Opera & Ballet to love, ambition, money, politics and increasingly dangerous choices, The Cat Herder follows a life lived far outside the usual boundaries.
Told with dark humour and uncomfortable honesty, this is not the polished story of a man who always made the right choices. It is the story of someone who survived the wrong ones.
