Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.0
3.5/4 ☆
As always, Murata's commentary on society and the structure of it, the conformity and the inanity of it all - with a bit of nihilistic approach i'll add is classic of her. I actually enjoyed this one - it was hilarious at times and though the commentary isn't something new, the way she put it, the tone used (where the translation comes into play a lot), the character - she's able to add her own spin to it. I always feel her books are like beginner's venture into such topics and as someone who wants to revisit such views, there's always something to takeaway.
I have some quotes i really liked that captured the essence of this book.
