Meet Keiko.

Keiko is 36 years old. She's never had a boyfriend, and she's been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years.

Keiko's family wishes she'd get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won't get married.

But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and she's not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store...

Description du produit

Quatrième de couverture

Keiko isn't normal. At school and university, people find her odd, and her family worries she will never fit in. To make them happy, Keiko takes a job at a newly opened convenience store where she finds peace and purpose in simple daily tasks. But in Keiko's circle it just won't do for an unmarried woman to spend her time stacking shelves and ordering green tea. As the pressure to find a new job - or worse, a husband - increases, Keiko is forced to take desperate action... A Japanese literary sensation with over 650,000 copies sold and the winner of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize, Convenience Store Woman is this summer's must-read oddball comedy.

Revue de presse

'Unapologetically deadpan yet enticingly comic... it's the novel's cumulative, idiosyncratic poetry that lingers, attaining a weird, fluorescent kind of beauty all of its own... Irresistible'--Observer

'An exhilaratingly weird and funny Japanese novel about a long-term convenience store employee. Unsettling and totally unpredictable - my copy is now heavily underlined'--Sally Rooney, Guardian

'Convenience Store Woman is a gem of a book. Quirky, deadpan, poignant, and quietly profound, it is a gift to anyone who has ever felt at odds with the world - and if we were truly being honest, I suspect that would be most of 'us'' -- Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being

'Witty, wily, and astonishingly sharp, Convenience Store Woman proves that the deepest gouges can come from the lightest touch.'-- Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies

'Convenience Store Woman is snarky and tender. It shows a woman trying to puzzle out how to be normal. This brilliant book will resonate with all of us who find life a little strange.'-- --Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You

'This novel made me laugh. It was the first time for me to laugh in this way: it was absurd, comical, cute... audacious, and precise. It was overwhelming'--Hiromi Kawakami, author of Strange Weather in Tokyo

'I picked up this novel on a trip to Japan and couldn't put it down. A haunting, dark, and often hilarious take on society's expectations of the single woman.'-- --Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot

'A neat and pleasing fable that could only be Japanese... quirky, memorable'--Sunday Times

'A sure-fire hit of the summer... quirky [and] profound... This is a story that readers could easily stay with all over again'--Irish Times

'[A] short, deadpan gem... This is a true original'--Daily Mail

'Delightfully weird, incredibly funny' ----Books of the Year, Refinery 29 --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition kindle_edition.

A quick read

Commenté en Inde 🇮🇳 le 21 mai 2023

Achat vérifié

This was part of a book club read.

As part of my work, I engage with East Asian culture, and I have had the chance to do some travel to the region. So any book that brings insights about the culture, about how life is for the people that I work with, is interesting.

This book has an interestingly reductive analogy of a woman who finds herself through her being a worker at a convenience store, which is considered to be a lowly profession. Her observations on the rhythms of the store and its patrons, and that of the store itself, are interesting.

What I got tired of is the way in which just about all the characters want our protagonist to change and lead a “normal”/“better” life than what she is leading, with truckloads of chauvinistic and sexist stereotyping.

I would still recommend this book despite its limitations because of it being a short, accessible read and some of the symbolisms.

Quirky & different

Commenté en Inde 🇮🇳 le 13 mai 2023

Firstly was astonished to find that this novel consists of 80 something pages. So japanese translation novels are a bit on the costlier side.
Recieved in good quality. Coming to story of novel, how a japanese girl tries to fit in her society roles as a conveinence store worker. Best part of the book was how she loved her job. This novel raises some questions- do we live for ourselves or for the society expectations. What will the people say if i do this or that. This story will make you think this. I personally liked the ending and the protagonist of story. Such stories need to be told again and again.

A very enjoyable read

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 7 décembre 2018

Achat vérifié

Our heroine, Keiko, is a first person character who describes her world from an autistic perspective. She studies her colleages, family and friends in order to create a facsimile of "normality" that they will find acceptable. Her family desperately want her to be "fixed" but she is perfectly happy as she is and does not know what it is they think needs fixing; no-one can explain it to her. She has found the perfect place for her working in a convenience store, yet her family and friends are all desperate for her to conform to the Japanese norms - every woman must get married or have a "proper" career. I enjoyed Keiko's struggles with her society's expectations, and the social pressures placed on single women. The writing is very stripped back and deceptively simple as it critiques the world through Keiko's eyes without seeming to condemn. Ultimately this is a delightful celebration of the need to be yourself rather than allow yourself to be ruled by others' expectations and inflexibilities.

lighter than expected

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 1 février 2019

Achat vérifié

This is billed as being 'dark' and 'haunting', but having read this book I can't work out why. It is a brief exploration of Japanese cultural expectations and the experience of somebody who sits outside of these. Keiko takes pleasure in her symbiotic relationship with the shop in which she works, and this was surprisingly enjoyable to read about - the different products and the fluctuations in their sales. This was the more gentle side to the book, and paints Keiko as a simple but thorough person. Then the reader realises she is very isolated and lost in a world of mimicry and confusion. There is an odd paradox where she seems to be impervious to the opinions of others, but is also a slave to trying to fit in. However, I also found her co-workers rather strange, especially their reactions to Keiko and they way they treat her, whilst she is clearly excluded from their social lives, their reactions when she hands in her notice are bizarre.

My favourite observation of the book is that people love to make up their own narratives of other peoples' lives, and often don't even realise they are doing it.

The book, like the protagonist, is simple and unusual, and draws on the pleasures of minutiae without being overly dull.

Not particularly funny, not a brilliant story, slightly disappointed.

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 7 octobre 2018

Achat vérifié

This being a short novel I thought I would have finished it quickly, however I've had to really force myself to finish it. I liked the message, at least the message that I got from it, which is basically to do what makes you happy inspite of society's expectations, however the story could have been better. I really didn't take to any of the characters, it's usually quite easy to form a picture of characters in a novel and they become quite familiar, however they were all pretty unlikeable. On the front cover there's a review saying 'Haunting, dark, and often hilarious...' I didn't find myself laughing much at all. I think that I had very different expectations going into this and wonder if it would be more enjoyable in Japanese. I did actually like the ending, but for me most of the book plodded and I don't feel like it was worth the time.
