Being neurodivergent, I read Keiko that way and found a lot about the book relatable (fortunately, I've never bludgeoned anybody, though! 😹). I really appreciated how the conclusion played out, as well. I'm hoping to check out more of her work at some point!
Thanks for sharing! I want to read more of her too
Sayaka Murata is a simply incredible writer. I really like how all the questions you have about Keiko, you have those questions about the world she lives in and you wonder is that despite of her rebellion or because of it.
Excellent review, nice intro.
Thanks!
Je viens de terminer la première lecture de ce livre... Je réfléchis....
I really loved your review, very accurate and straight to the plot, i just loved the book ❤
i really liked convenience store woman, lots of interesting discussions about japanese (and the wider world's) culture.
Indeed!
*Love* the intro! Added this one to my list as well!
Hope you like it!
Best review I’ve heard of: “In a time that proclaims diversity is valued, this book puts up its middle finger, points to reality and says ‘don’t you lie to me’”
I joined a Japanese book club on a whim for this, wanting to get in reading practice, but I ended up blasting through it ahead of schedule in a way I haven’t for any book in years. I’d thought after hs I wasn’t that into fiction but this book might’ve changed my mind.
I’m neurodivergent (ADHD) and I could relate to a lot in this book. I’ve felt like I’ve had safe spaces that I was a part of transformed and “taken away from me” from other people in it who didn’t appreciate it like I did. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this exact thing be described before this book.
Anyways, I appreciate your review and how you went through the themes! I hope to see more media that focuses on NDs’ perspectives.
I agree about more media on it. Thanks for sharing
Loved it.
Great discussion and very cool opening!
🤗

I need to read this now.
I hope you love it
