A review by small__fry
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata

dark funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

As with many short story collections, some of these were more enjoyable than others.  Personal highlights were a First-Rate Material, Poochie, Eating the City and the titular Life Ceremony. Muraka’s writing is a joy and had me regularly cracking up laughing.
