Convenience Store Woman
by Sayaka Murata
Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman is a slim, strange, and quietly radical novel about Keiko Furukura, a thirty-six-year-old woman who has built a stable self out of the rhythms of a Tokyo convenience store. It's a sharp, deadpan look at conformity and what it costs to fake being normal.
