Review: Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

The protagonist of Convenience Store Woman, Keiko Furukura is a 36-year-old, you guessed it, convenience store worker. Every day looks the same, she wakes up and takes basic care of herself because that’s what’s good for her job, the same she’s had since she was 18 years old. Keiko forces us to ask ourselves, what is ambition? And why do we chase it?

Review: Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

Earthlings is a horror story. It’s important to establish this first for anyone who opens the pages on the basis of having read Convenience Store Woman – Sayaka Murata’s debut – or even the cute cover which consists of a soft toy floating in space.
