I wish strange was also an option for “mood”. But otherwise the stories definitely captivates your attention and holds deeper meanings. Now, I want a physical copy bc only remember a few stories (life ceremonies, hatchling & first rate material).

Murata uses extreme imagery to explore modern relationships of the body and family, ritual, food, and sex. It's very well written and well imagined.

Beautifully bizarre stories, but some of them are not for those with a weak stomach. I had to pause a few times and come back. Thankfully, my college anthropology classes prepared me for Life Ceremony specifically. 😅

dystopian short stories exploring human bodies and societal taboos - beautiful, grotesque and silly
