Über diesen Titel

A tender, whimsical tale of love, loss, and the quiet miracles of everyday life. Perfect for fans of cosy Japanese fiction.

When an unexpected diagnosis turns his world upside down, a lonely man, with only Cabbage the cat for company, is faced with an impossible choice. The Devil appears with 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 . . .

Genki Kawamura’s 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.

Kritikerstimmen

A warm, quirky novel on life, love, family estrangement and what remains when we are gone with a surprising emotional charge.
If you're a fan of The Guest Cat (or even just cats generally), you'll love this.
This brief existential enquiry into life’s priorities is gently charming.
A moral tale.
A poignant, affecting story about facing up to one's mortality, taking responsibility for one's choices and deciding what truly holds value.
Reminiscent of Johnathan Livingston Seagull, this was a quick read – it only took me a few hours – but it will stay with you long after you finish it.

It's a nice entertaining piece of work, easy to listen to, great for a lazy afternoon at the beach.

Touching, sentimental, short

The speaker is brilliant. The story is interesting. I like the idea and the philosophical thoughts it provokes. it has no big ups and downs, it's more like a calm river. I was expecting a bit more from it, but it was a nice read.

The story is boring. I was able to win a little something for myself. This is not for me.
