Kawakami's unusually-plotted novel is still a provocative exploration of women struggling through the expectations of body politics in Japan, though their questions are universal.

Kawakami's work has been praised (and loathed) and that's been a draw for me. Have had her on my list for some time, but Kindle threatened to take away one of my downloads (*nice, guys*), so I put it up to the top of the list! Not my usual choice--all the more reason . . . .

What I read in 2022

I managed (more or less) 60 books last year. More or less because I had 10 pages left of my last read of the year as the calendar clicked over.

I had 16 five star reads. My favourites of these were #Villager by #TomCox, #ThirstySea by #EricaMou, #MuscleAndMouth by #LouiseFinnigan, #BreastsAndEggs by #MiekoKawakami, and the #ShortStory collection #TheBookOfRamallah from #CommaPress.
