"Brian Nishii narrates this imaginative tale set in Japan about the complexities of death, life, and cats...A brief, charming parable." —AudioFile Magazine

The international phenomenon that has sold more than a million copies in Japan, If Cats Disappeared from the World is a funny, heartwarming, and profound meditation on the meaning of life.

The postman’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat, Cabbage, to keep him company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can tackle his bucket list, the Devil appears to make him an offer: In exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, our narrator will get one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week....

With each object that disappears, the postman reflects on the life he’s lived, his joys and regrets, and the people he’s loved and lost.

Genki Kawamura’s timeless tale is a moving story of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters most in life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"At first, If Cats Disappeared from the World feels as light and puzzling as a fairy tale, but then, steadily, chapter by chapter - using nothing more than conversation, memory, and a winning narrator's searching, sensitive thought experiments - it raises its cosmic stakes higher than any thriller. Like a padding cat or the shadow of death, Genki Kawamura's book snuck up on me; the next thing I knew, I was crying." (Robin Sloan, New York Times best-selling author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough)

The idea of gaining a day for removal of something from the world was uniquely presented. On day one it was a shock, but quickly was not his choice by day two. Cabbage helped him go full circle in his life so peace and tranquility would remain and he knew the value of his Dads quiet life and his own.

We all wonder if our life makes a difference. Until death was imminent it was not a question.

The book made me think about MY OWN LIFE!! Soooo eye opening and mind blowing. Reviewing your own life/motives/mistakes/loves/needs will most certainly make you stop and evaluate!! OUTSTANDING READ!!

Some good parts and ideas but mostly basic in the writing and story details. A clumsy attempt at being profound that comes across more corny than anything else.

it's a nice story but...

I am finding that I tend to enjoy books by Japanese authors and this was no exception. This is a short book that drew me in with its unique premise. I also loved the author’s idea of the cat’s voice.
