Rat Catching (ISBN 0962299707) is a book by actor and filmmaker Crispin Glover. The book is a form of collage, reworked from Studies in the Art of Rat Catching by Henry C. Barkley, an 1896 book now in the public domain.[1] Pictures from the book, as well as the book itself, were shown in the opening credits of the 2003 film Willard, starring Glover.[2] The book forms a segment of Glover's live slideshow readings, performed during particular screenings of his self-produced films What Is It? and It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine..[3]
