Convenience Store Woman

This was a strange one and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I'm also especially unsure how to feel about translations, or how to critique them — the writing is direct and unadorned, which does mirror the narrator's perspective. The book follows a woman who has been working at a convenience store for nearly 20 years because as it's the only way she has been able to function in society — I'm no psychologist but it seems pretty clear this woman is a psychopath. There is an air of suspense and weirdness carried throughout that keeps it interesting, but otherwise, not much happens. Without being super familiar with Japanese culture I'm only vaguely aware of the social commentary.
