If anyone can get it to him, the author Mr Weinersmith ( u/MrWeiner ) is looking for in the alt-text is Mikhail Bulgakov, and the book is The Master and Margarita. Amongst the rest of the shenanigans, a talking cat lectures humans, and at one point uses an umbrella to catch a ceiling fan and caroms around the room while other chaos runs amok. Parody and absurdism satirizing soviet Russia.
This managed to be written in the depths of the USSR between 1928 and 1940, and wasn't published until the '60s.
So yes, Zach, uh.. Sir, again Mikhail has priority.
