Sayaka Murata: Convenience Store Woman (2019)

Convenience Store Woman (Japanese: コンビニ人間, Hepburn: Konbini Ningen) is a 2016 novel by Japanese author …

A quick read. Engaging, but not that enjoyable for me. No sooner had it set up some conflict, it abandons it, and the story ends. As someone who has frequented Japanese convenience stores, it was most enjoyable as a portrait of those places.
