There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura
4.0
I really enjoyed this! It felt slow paced which was nice I haven't read a book like that in a long time. It also really aided in the critique of capitalism with how slow certain parts felt. As being extremely working class there was so so much I could relate to with the main character which is what made it so enjoyable to me. The characters that literally just go in and out of the narrators life is so realistic to how it is when you go through so many jobs....
It reminds me of the quote from City of Night by John Rechy "The long goodbye the life turns into"
Plus the characters you meet are very entertaining and the little bits of surrealism sprinkled through out made me want to finish the book so bad just to know what happens in the end!!
Definitely recommend reading while in between jobs or if you need that final push to quit a bad job
