A review by bookwormdaily
If Cats Disappeared from the World by Genki Kawamura

3.0

 

To live means to cry, to shout, to love, to do silly things, to feel sadness and joy, to laugh, even to experience horrible, frightening things. Beautiful songs, beautiful scenery, nausea, people singing, planes flying across the sky, the thundering hooves of horses, mouthwatering pancakes, the endless darkness of space,

A book about someone trying to prepare himself for death. It explores the topic such a grief and purpose in life. Somehow this book felt uplifting to me because it reminds me of how short my life is and which things should i prioritize and be grateful for. To not spend time on the things that are useless. Sadly, i didn’t felt much connection to the main character, feel like his voice and pov are very far away, i just can look at him as someone who experience things and i could learn from him.
