Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka MurataMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A unique little book. Written from the point of view of a convenience store worker in her late 30's who doesn't fit in (and is probably on the spectrum), but more of a critique of everyone else expecting her to live according to their societal rules.
Actually the parts detailing the work in the convenience store sort of fascinated me. I imagine anyone who has experienced convenience stores in East Asia would find a lot of it familiar. It doesn't seem like any other novels by this author have been translated into English, which is too bad. I look forward to reading more by her.
