Convenience Store Woman

i think ‘funny' that is written in the blurb means that, what some people in the world might feel and do can be demonstrated through a woman who, according to society in this novel (and also perhaps in the real world), does a low-level job as a convenience store keeper. this novel raises questions like “is it ‘abnormal' to work for decades and identify themselves as a convenience storekeeper?” and “how normal is normal to society?”

this novel is a quick read with sayaka murata's simplistic writing. some keiko's opinions and thoughts also has a resemblance to me.
