And so begins a very bizarre week . . .Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? 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.This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide.
