It is actually not all about cats disappearing from existence, not a methodical what-if breakdown of the break down of ecosystems and world orders should the feline family one day fly off the face of the earth.
If Cats Disappeared From The World is an intriguing book, to say the least. That would definitely ruin it for some of us. Unless all they did was baby talk all day long. As much as we draw comics and write books and make movies about talking animals, I’m fairly certain if they could it would ruin it for a lot of us. Therein lies part of the beauty of pets, I suppose.
Also pets appear to be less problematic, less anxiety and stress inducing, a modern solution to a modern problem – companionship and loneliness in the 21st century.Īs Homer put simply: “The sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back.” Is an increase in pet ownership a sign that a community is maturing or growing in wealth? Or quite the opposite? Pets present a lot less complications than human offspring, and maybe cost a little less (even if just from a shelf life comparison). That makes me think of another trend – the growing pet trend, at least in many parts of Asia. Perhaps this is a trend of mine, although I fear I may run out of relevant material all too soon, short of reading children’s books and lolcats albums. I needed to write about all the things I’d never told you these past years.Īnother quaint little book, another book with a picture of a cat on the cover. Then I realized what I needed to do in the time left to me.
This timeless tale from Genki Kawamura (producer of the Japanese blockbuster animated movie Your Name) is a moving story of loss and reconciliation, and of one man’s journey to discover what really matters most in life.Sam Marks Books (but not with an actual pen)
With each object that disappears, the postman reflects on the life he’s lived, his joys and regrets, and the people he’s loved and lost. And so begins a very strange week that brings the young postman and his beloved cat to the brink of existence. But before he can tackle his bucket list, the devil shows up to make him an offer: In exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, the postman will be granted one extra day of life. Estranged from his family and living alone with only his cat, Cabbage, to keep him company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. The international phenomenon that has sold more than two million copies, If Cats Disappeared from the World-now a Japanese film-is a heartwarming, funny, and profound meditation on the meaning of life.
