If the cats disappeared from the world

Author's name: Ginky Kawamuradar Publisher: Takween Publications Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: Since a person realizes that they will die, they reach a fragile reconciliation between hope in life and reconciliation with death, and during that they remember many unfulfilled dreams, and many regrets over trivial things. But after I gained the ability to hide things from this world, I see that regret is a wonderful thing, as it is proof that I have lived my life in this world. *** When a person stands on the edge of death, and an impossible deal is offered to them: to extend their life by one day in exchange for the disappearance of something from the world; every small detail - from a passing chocolate to a phone with which you do not speak to your father - becomes a question about the meaning of existence. The story is about a man awaiting his end and his deal with a demon as a mask for our fragility at the moment we realize that staying alive is always conditional on losses. The novel raises complex questions that may seem simple on the surface: What does it mean for the world to continue without cats? And without the things we consider secondary? And what can be done in our last moments? Since its release, the novel has found an unusual global resonance: more than two million copies sold, translated and published in over thirty-two countries, and it has become the subject of wide critical discussion before being turned into a magnificent film. It is a novel that managed to turn loss into a universal human question, about the paradise of possible possibilities, moments of reflection, and reviewing the reel of life.
