CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN: Sayaka Murata

CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN

by Sayaka Murata

Sometimes you need a novel to pick you up. At the heart of it, everyone is a big weirdo. Who actually feels like they fit in? Keiko, well into her 30s works in a convenience store, where she is happiest, even if the world around her doesn’t believe her. So Keiko decides to engage in a bold experiment in the only way she knows how. This is a refreshing quirky fable about being who you are and wearing your weirdness on your sleeve.
