The Blanket Cats - Kiyoshi Shigematsu - książka
Producent: Quercus Publishing
In the realm of healing fiction, "The Blanket Cats" stands out as a refreshing addition that delves into the nuanced struggles and ambiguities of life. Shanna Tan, known for translating "Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop," remarks how the book inspires hope that a small, deliberate step forward can lead to improvement. Jinwoo Chong, celebrated author of "Flux" and "I Leave It Up to You," hails it as a notable achievement. The novel poses an intriguing question: Can spending three days with a cat truly alter your life? In Tokyo, those grappling with various anxieties are eager to find out; each person dealing with their own set of challenges seeks solace in the unique companionship offered by cats from a special pet shop. However, there are stipulations: the cats must be returned after three days and must sleep with their own blankets, familiar from home. Among the seven diverse customers we encounter are a couple facing infertility, a woman evading the law, and two families from different walks of life searching for happiness. Yet, these enigmatic blanket cats—creatures known for defying expectations—bring their own mysterious plans that often redirect their human companions in unexpected ways. Though three days might not be sufficient to transform one's life entirely, it may well shift perspectives. As Cat Anderson, the translator of "The Chibineko Kitchen," notes, Shigematsu's clever cats excel at offering their temporary owners a new level of understanding and gently steering them toward unforeseen paths. Translated from Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood, the novel leaves readers pondering the subtle yet impactful changes these feline interactions can inspire.
