22e decembers lucka - If cats disapperaed from the world av Genki Kawamura

A beautifully 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? 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.

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.

Den här, som så många andra, har jag ägt länge men inte fått läst. Fast nu äntligen och jag är glad att få ha läst en sådan liten hjärtevärmande berättelse även om den handlar om livet före döden, och tiden att ta farväl och leva den tid som är kvar. Katterna  som finns med i boken gillar jag att läsa om.
