Praise for Convenience Store Woman : "I think the riskiest kind of novel is the one that tries to rescue us from mundane existence--by taking a closer look at mundane existence . . . In this context, it is easy to say that Murata-san's novel is a major breakthrough. Convenience Store Woman is not an explosion of candor, but it manages to both be cool to the touch and have depths of warmth in presenting to us a heroine who feels at a remove from the world around her. This is a fine high wire act to walk. One of the finest I have seen in a long time from so young a writer." --John Freeman, Literary Hub "This work merely describes the tiny world of a small box--a convenience store . . . yet it packs all the appeal of a [long] novel. In all my ten-plus years on the panel of judges, this is the first time one of the shortlisted works has had me laughing. And somehow that laugh was charged with a profound sense of irony. Bravo Murata-san!" --Amy Yamada "I was really amazed by Convenience Store Woman and the particular reality it exquisitely portrays . . . [It] minutely translates the sadness, anguish, grief, grumbles, fateful actions etc. of someone who is incapable of uttering the right words, adding layers of details and spinning them into a story . . . I am sincerely delighted that such a novel has come into being." --Ryu Murakami "Choosing to give your novel a narrator who is not normal, someone who is aware that there is something strange about herself, is not an easy choice. Flaunting strangeness as a privilege sometimes repels the reader. But Convenience Store Woman skilfully evades this reaction. When the protagonist, a social outcast, is placed within the box of the artificially normalized convenience store, we begin to vividly see the strangeness of the people in the world outside." --Yoko Ogawa "This novel made me laugh. It was the first time for me to laugh in this way: it was absurd, comical, cute . . . audacious, and precise. It was overwhelming." --Hiromi Kawakami, Praise for Convenience Store Woman : Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2018 by Electric Literature Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2018 by April Magazine "What a weird and wonderful and deeply satisfying book this is. Sayaka Murata is an utterly unique and revolutionary voice. I tore through Convenience Store Woman with great delight." --Jami Attenberg, New York Times -bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All Grown Up " Convenience Store Woman is a gem of a book. Quirky, deadpan, poignant, and quietly profound, it is a gift to anyone who has ever felt at odds with the world--and if we were truly being honest, I suspect that would be most of us." --Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being "I picked up this novel on a trip to Japan and couldn't put it down. A haunting, dark, and often hilarious take on society's expectations of the single woman. As an extra bonus, it totally transformed my experience of going to convenience stores in Tokyo." --Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot " Convenience Store Woman is a mighty fine book, completely charming. Sayaka Murata is a wonderful writer." --Rabih Alameddine, author of An Unnecessary Woman "Witty, wily, and astonishingly sharp, Convenience Store Woman proves that the deepest gouges can come from the lightest touch." --Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies " Convenience Store Woman is snarky and tender. It shows a woman trying to puzzle out how to be normal. This brilliant book will resonate with all of us who find life a little strange." --Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You "I think the riskiest kind of novel is the one that tries to rescue us from mundane existence--by taking a closer look at mundane existence . . .

Synopsis
The English-language debut of an exciting young voice in international fiction, selling 660,000 copies in Japan alone, Convenience Store Woman is a bewitching portrayal of contemporary Japan through the eyes of a single woman who fits in to the rigidity of its work culture only too well The English-language debut of one of Japan's most talented contemporary writers, selling over 650,000 copies there, Convenience Store Woman is the heartwarming and surprising story of thirty-six-year-old Tokyo resident Keiko Furukura. Keiko has never fit in, neither in her family, nor in school, but when at the age of eighteen she begins working at the Hiiromachi branch of "Smile Mart," she finds peace and purpose in her life. In the store, unlike anywhere else, she understands the rules of social interaction--many are laid out line by line in the store's manual--and she does her best to copy the dress, mannerisms, and speech of her colleagues, playing the part of a "normal" person excellently, more or less. Managers come and go, but Keiko stays at the store for eighteen years. It's almost hard to tell where the store ends and she begins. Keiko is very happy, but the people close to her, from her family to her coworkers, increasingly pressure her to find a husband, and to start a proper career, prompting her to take desperate action... A brilliant depiction of an unusual psyche and a world hidden from view, Convenience Store Woman is an ironic and sharp-eyed look at contemporary work culture and the pressures to conform, as well as a charming and completely fresh portrait of an unforgettable heroine., The English-language debut of one of Japan's most talented contemporary writers, selling over 650,000 copies there, Convenience Store Woman is the heartwarming and surprising story of thirty-six-year-old Tokyo resident Keiko Furukura.

    I am thoroughly satisfied with this vendor. The book I purchased was everything I wanted! Just as described by the listing and the many photos provided, the book was in impeccable condition. This was due, in part, to how well it was packaged for transit. For what I received, the price was more than reasonable, as well. As were the shipping costs. In the end, I highly recommend this vendor to all who are interested!

    Lightning fast shipping; the book arrived 5 days after purchase. It was packed very securely, so no chance of shipping damage outside of a serious vehicle accident or fire. The description was, if anything, too conservative; I'd call this book "Like New" rather than simply 'Very Good', but I can absolutely appreciate "under promising, and over-delivering." The price was in line with other, similar books. I'll gladly check back for future book purchases! A+++

    Engaging and unsettling

    This is one of the most unusual novels I have ever read. Though the prose is sparse, the author makes one feel the protagonist's unsettled life and empty reactions to other human beings. I don't want to be a spoiler.....just read it.

    Something different

    This was actually a great read. I’m not an avid reader but this was great. Lots of short little chapters and a short read (~150-160 pages). I just bought another book by the same author. Hopefully it’s just as interesting and a good read.
