Join us for a virtual discussion of “Convenience Story Woman” by Sayaka Murata on January 6. This book brilliantly captures the atmosphere of the familiar convenience store that is so much part of life in Japan. With some laugh-out-loud moments prompted by the disconnect between the heroin Keiko’s thoughts and those of the people around her, Murata provides a sharp look at Japanese society and the pressure to conform, and the expectations placed on young women. Critics have found “Convenience Store Woman” to be a fresh, charming portrait of an unforgettable heroine. Similar books can be found here.
