A World Without Color is a touching novella written
by Bernard Jan.
The book chronicles the last three
difficult, sad, but love-filled days the author shared with his beloved cat of
fourteen years and nine months. How he kept his vigil over someone he loved the
most as he watched him go gradually, painfully but bravely.
More than the cat or the pet, this book is
ultimately about love in its unconditional form. It depicts the extent of a
person’s attachment and affection to a non-human and the love that transcends
the boundaries of the species. Moreover, it describes the beauty of
unreciprocated action in the name of duty and obligation as a manifestation of
love. Finally, it presents the ultimate choice someone has to make: either to
carry the burden of being the angel of death to the one he loves the most for
the rest of his life by putting an end to the agony and suffering of his
beloved or to wait for the end to come on its own as he watch the love of his
life expire swiftly and painfully.
However, this novella may be understood
and totally appreciated only by readers who have the rare opportunity of
experiencing that same kind of love the author felt for his cat. Regrettably,
not all people, pet-owners included, have that same intimate and passionate
relationship with their pets.
