very similar to EARTHLINGS in that keiko finds herself not being able to be a part of society’s “factory” (but an entirely different tone) CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN was a very relatable read as a neurodivergent person myself. i didn’t get much more out of it beyond that, but it was nice to feel seen.

This felt like a tragicomedy because of the hypercapitalism just bleeding into everything but the delivery was so FUNNY sometimes. She banished an incel to the bathtub because he was just so stinky in every sense. Lots to pick apart with this and it was very worth the read
