When he's not writing thrillers, Matthew Pearl, the author behind the best-selling The Dante Club, lends his pen to give homeless cats another life. As a volunteer for the Animal Rescue League of Boston, he crafts poignant, funny, and informative biographies for the cats in the shelter to help get them adopted. (Other workers contribute biographies as well.) Here are snippets from nine samples of Pearl's work.
