Caleb Carr discusses grief and dying — subjects that linger over his new nonfiction book, “My Beloved Monster,” and now loom over what might be the final months of his life.

Caleb Carr visits the grave of his beloved Masha, whom he considers the love of his life, every day. “We have a little chat,” said Carr, best known for his 1994 crime novel “The Alienist,” during a video call from his home in upstate New York.

” Carr writes about cats with a tender vividness that might make you see your own pets through new eyes. As a child Carr lived in an environment where people couldn’t be trusted, with wild parties and everyday life descending into violence. He lived in a neighborhood so rife with drugs and prostitution that it provided the shooting location for the climax of Martin Scorsese's “Taxi Driver.” But he always had animals: dogs, gerbils, fish, rabbits and, most to the young Carr’s liking, cats.
