MattSomehow, Convenience Store Woman by Sataka Murata had passed me by until I was gifted it for Christmas. What an enchanting read. Tender, funny and beautifully, hauntingly, unsettling. #books #sayakaMurata #reading
Charly Dork (she/they)Started Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata - no spoilers - I’m enjoying it so much it’s not what I expected. Stepping into Keiko’s mind has been brilliant. Anyone else reading? #ConvenienceStoreWoman #FediBookClub #SayakaMurata what book club # are people using?
The Japan TimesThe popular cozy and quirky fiction showed no signs of decline, but there were two big surprises from two ghostly figures — Uketsu and Osamu Dazai. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/12/14/books/japanese-literature-2025/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #books #japaneseliterature #2025inreview #translatedliterature #fiction #uketsu #osamudazai #sayakamurata #akutagawaprize

Rypać martwiaki - Ula #101/1761 PAWAROTA Radio - 30.11.2025
101 wydanie audycji Rypać martwiaki! Wracam z nadrabianiem zaległości i z tematem bycia odmieńcem, niedopasem, dziwakiem. “Wtedy po raz pierwszy udało mi się zostać częścią świata. “To moje narodziny” pomyślałam. Tego dnia narodziłam się jako normalna część świata.” - pisze Sayaka Murata w książce “Dziewczyna z konbini”. Obnaża mechanizmy kontroli społecznej, które pilnują, aby nie odbiegać od normy, analizuje pogardę i dyskryminację. Kolejne spotkanie: 21 grudnia 2025, o 18:00, https://pawarotaradio.pl/ Wsparcie audycji: https://buycoffee.to/rypacmartwiaki

quackademicIf you've not read the short novel Convenience Store Woman yet, please do. There is so much pleasure to be found in what may look to others as a very modest life.
This interview shows its author, #SayakaMurata , as Exactly as I had imagined her to be. Knows all about living as an alien in a world that objectifies her body. Just ordered all her others in translation from our wonderful local library.
Recommend her work, esp for my #ActuallyAutistic pals
Sayaka Murata's Vanishing Word is out in English next week! ❤️ (translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori)
