Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
5.0
What a quirky strange little book... anyone else feel that when reading it?
It was dreadfully disturbing at times i must say... like that side of whimsicality that is dark? But for the majority of the time, it was splendid!
This little novel follows for a short period of time the life of a 36 year old Japanese woman who works at a convenient store, and who simply cannot believe anything more of herself than who she as a worker. Her line of reference is directed constantly at the convenient store.
Who knew such a novella could be funny, sad, dark yet compelling all at the same time?
Deserves all the clout its been getting for sure ;)
