Earthlings by sayaka murata

This was genuinely one of the most unsettling and uncomfortable books I’ve ever read. It was absolutely bizarre in the best way and is among my favorites because of how shocking, dream-like, and strange it is.

☠︎ Life Ceremony (Sayaka Murata) ☠︎

"...ησямαℓ ιѕ α туρє σƒ мα∂ηєѕѕ, ιѕη'т ιт? ι тнιηк ιт'ѕ נυѕт тнαт тнє σηℓу мα∂ηєѕѕ ѕσ¢ιєту αℓℓσωѕ ιѕ ¢αℓℓє∂ ησямαℓ." collection of out-there short stories by the author of "convenience store woman" and "earthlings" let me get this out of the way: this is so, EMPHATICALLY, not for everybody. i wouldn't say it's on the level of earthlings in terms of off-putting, but it's not NOT hovering around that point. go in with as open of a mind as you can. really interesting ruminations on relationships, societal taboos and just weird, weird shit. if you're squeamish, i'd at least recommend it for "two's family," probably the least affronting of the bunch

All the lovers in the night

By Keiko Kawakami 221 pages, its about a girl struggling with loneliness and mental health issues. It touches on issues of alcoholism. Its sosoososo good!!! Its not plot heavy, it may seem boring to people since not a lot happens during it. It focuses more on her and her lonliness, but its one of my favorites!!
