This really sounds like it'd be right up my alley. Japanese authors have a very interesting writing style. Great review Larry!
Thanks Ercy :-)
I love Sayaka Murata. She is my kinda author. I think I prefered Convenience Store Woman, but this one was great too. It feels like one I might enjoy even more upon reread. The theme of collectivism/alienation in Japanese Lit, is lit 🔥
Has she written anything else (that has been translated)?
@@LarryHasOpinions not that I'm aware of at the moment!
Today Larry has excellent Opinions!
Great review and great video, loved what you had to say about one of my favourites.
What do you mean today? I always do!! Haha thanks a lot for watching ❤️
Sounds very intriguing :D thank you for sharing it!
Thanks for watching :-)
I'm not surprised it's a weird book. _Convenience Store Woman_ was also weird, but I liked it. Now knowing it isn't sci-fi I might actually pick it up at some point.
I hope you enjoy it!
Great hearing your thoughts on this. Yep, *very dark* and a strong stomach needed! I was engrossed by it (or maybe just grossed out by it) and definitely agree it's getting readers to think about all the larger issues you mention but I think in retrospect it felt to me like it was going more for shock value than trying to say something meaningful.
I can see how it's getting really close to that line, thanks for watching Eric :-)
Ahh, I keep meaning to read this and Convenience Store Woman! I like what you said about the group vs individual identities- I’d be fascinated to see how that works in the book itself.
Great video as always!
Thank you Bobs :-)
But the cover looks so sweet. Wow… such a different book than I would have expected! Great discussion!
Haha appearances are deceiving :-)
Oh yes. I was looking at either reading this or “Heaven” by Kawakami soon on my upcoming vacation
Let me know if you end up reading it :-)
Ah you liked it!? Yay!
Yes! :-)
This book is definitely a wild ride 🤯
Yes 100% :-D
This has been on my tbr for a while - think I'm either gonna love this or hate this lol..
In your opinion should I read this first or convenience store woman? If CSW is more 'conventional' thinking I should start with that one
Difficult to say, this is definitely more memorable, if you definitely plan on reading both then yes probably start with csw
Is it all the same book ? Why there’s 4 cover
Yes all the same book, just different editions
lol im always looking for a twisted topic 🤣
I hope you enjoy it :-)
It sounds a TWISTED read indeed.
Indeed :-)
Why are you being American today?
What? :-)
