The million-copy bestseller, perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
What would you do if you were told you only had days left to live? And what would you give up for just one more day? Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared From The World is a tender, whimsical tale of love, loss, and the quiet miracles of everyday life.
A thirty-year-old postman lives a simple life, with only his cat, Cabbage, for company. But when an unexpected diagnosis turns his world upside down, he is faced with an impossible choice. The Devil appears to him, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, and makes an offer: if he makes one thing in the world disappear, he can have an extra day of life.
As the days tick by, and with Cabbage by his side, he begins a journey that might just lead him back to the people he thought he’d lost. Before it’s too late . . .
If Cats Disappeared from the World is a life-affirming meditation on what we leave behind – and what we hold onto until the very end.

A Little bit boring at times, but overall a very cozy, funny and sad story. Definitely worth a listen on a rainy day!

Ledsam, underfundig och mysig. En lågmäld bok, som får dig att fundera. Tyvärr har jag lite svårt för den där naiva japanska berättar tonen, men undrar inte om det kanske har mer med översättning att göra än något annat. Klart läsvärd!
