Our Bibliophibians Reading Group selection for February is Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
At January’s reading group meeting, our readers suggested a book by an Asian woman, so here it is.
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata is a comic novel about a socially-awkward woman who finds refuge in the strict routines and regulations of her convenience store job. But after 18 years at what should be a temporary job, her family is asking questions. What is she doing with her life? When will she get married? Has she gone on a single date? When her safe existence is threatened by social pressures, she is forced to take action.
Our next Reading Group discussion will be held on Saturday, 2 March 2019, 4-6pm at Tin-Aw Art Gallery, Somerset Olympia Building (across from Old Swiss Inn), Makati Avenue, beside the Peninsula Manila. Everyone who has read the book is welcome. Convenience store snacks will be served.
