On this episode, we discuss our June 2020 book club pick, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata & translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori. A short and humorous novel about Keiko, a Japanese who finds it hard to interact with people, who finds contentment in the routines of working at a convenience store, where she can do a good job and feel like a "normal person" contributing to society. We discuss what happens when her ideal life is thrown for a loop as societal pressure mounts for her to settle down and get a real job, get married, or both.
