A moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love.
Our narrator’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live.
But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . .
Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself – and his beloved cat – to the brink.
Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide.

Väldigt fin liten berättelse. Ville inte att den skulle ta slut så snabbt. Vilket såklart är en passande känsla utifrån bokens budskap.

Bra bok, ganska kort med en hel del surrealistiska inslag men en fin historia om familjekärlek

En bok som vanligtvist inte hade fallit mig i smaken. Men den var mycket vacker i sin enkelhet och tankeväckande. Har lite på känn att den förlorat mycket på översättningen till engelska.

Mycket fin bok som för tankarna till flera (främst) buddhistiska idèer. Händelserik och enkelt att följa.
