描述
“从这个世界上每消失一样东西,就能让你的性命延长一天。”他说。半信半疑间,我接受了这个交易。就这样,我、猫以及这个精力旺盛的恶魔,开始了一个怪诞至极的七日之旅。
恶魔抹去世界上的某样东西,以延续我一天的寿命。然后,电话、电影、时钟……真的消失不见了。
于是,我在这个渐渐失去的世界中,与爱猫相依,与初恋情人再会,与唯一的亲友相聚,思念死去的母亲与长期断绝关系的父亲。想象自己死后的世界,我的葬礼,会来些什么人?谁会从心底为我的死而感到悲痛呢?关于我,他们会做出什么评价,说出哪些回忆呢?
每消失一样东西,我的内心都会发生很大的变化。失去以后,我才第一次真切感受到这样东西的意义和价值。失去以后,我才发现自己的内心一直都有个黑洞,只知向外无度索取,却从未真正珍视过已经拥有的。直到猫要消失时,我忽然发现猫身上所承载的我一直苦寻的东西。原来我一直拥有它,却从未珍视过,我一直被自己内心的黑洞所惑。
是的,猫真的要消失了。终于,我无法接受这个事实。我在苦恼、绝望中,到处寻找我的猫,却怎么都找不到。然后,我根本无法想象,等待我的竟是如此奇迹般的结局……

评论
查看全部A tender, thought-provoking story that blends magical realism with raw emotion. Beautifully explores the value of ordinary things and moments. Heartbreaking, yet uplifting. And like any 5 star it lingers in the mind long after the last page.
This book was so deep. Randomly giving up something in order for an extra day to live is such a wild concept. It sounds like such an easy choice to just give things up, but when it comes down to it it could be your most prized possession and at that point is one day enough? I'm just ranting now but wow this book really made me think of my own life. The ending was going in a great direction but it was sort of left to interpretation on what truly happens and while that's fine I wanted more ahhaha
