A million-copy bestseller, a poignant and thought-provoking Japanese tale that asks what it really is that makes life worth living.
This young man’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he is 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.
If Cats Disappeared from the World is a beautifully moving tale of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
