If Cats Disappeared from the World

About

A young postman learns he has only days to live. Then the Devil appears with an offer: for each day of extended life, one thing must disappear from the world entirely. Phones vanish. Movies cease to exist. Chocolate is erased from history. With each deletion, the postman watches the world reshape itself around the absence — and discovers what each lost thing truly meant to the people who depended on it. Genki Kawamura's international phenomenon — over two million copies sold — works as both thought experiment and love story. The premise is whimsical; the execution is unexpectedly precise, each disappearance forcing the narrator to confront a specific relationship he neglected while he was alive and healthy. A novel that asks the simplest, most devastating question: if you could trade the world's wonders for more time, which ones would you let go — and which would you die to keep?
