What would you give up for an extra day of life? That’s the scenario that our unnamed narrator comes face-to-face with in If Cats Disappeared From The World. Does it help that I’m on holiday this week? Certainly but let’s not take away from my achievements. I finished it in 3 days, which for me is kind of miraculous. And, if I hadn’t already passed my GoodReads challenge score, it would have been a perfect read. As soon as I’d done with Love, Nina I did it. Until a few weeks later when I couldn’t resist anymore and bought a cheap copy. But, considering my TBR list is so huge, I decided against it. Fans of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles will also surely love If Cats Disappeared from the World.I saw this book in a bookshop a month ago and immediately wanted to read it. This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. 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. īecause how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself - and his beloved cat - to the brink. 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.
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. A beautifully moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
