I enjoyed this philosophical book about end of life choices and the meaning of life. Our unnamed narrator is a postman with a brain tumor. He is not long for the world when the devil shows up and asks him if he wants to extend his life by allowing the devil to make something disappear from the world. On the first day, phones disappear. The next day, movies are gone, then clocks. But when the choice is cats, the narrator decides it is time to die. The reader does a great job and I appreciated hearing the Japanese names/place pronounced correctly.
