About this listen

Una heroína (in)conformista e inolvidable

Keiko Furukura tiene 36 años y está soltera. De hecho, nunca ha tenido pareja. Desde que abandonó a su tradicional familia para mudarse a Tokio, trabaja a tiempo parcial como dependienta de una konbini, un supermercado japonés abierto las 24 horas del día. Siempre ha sentido que no encajaba en la sociedad, pero en la tienda ha encontrado un mundo predecible, gobernado por un manual que dicta a los trabajadores cómo actuar y qué decir. Ha conseguido lograr esa normalidad que la sociedad le reclama: todos quieren ver a Keiko formar un hogar, seguir un camino convencional que la convierta, a sus ojos, en una adulta.

Con esta visión hilarante de las expectativas de la sociedad hacia las mujeres solteras, Sayaka Murata se ha consagrado como la nueva voz de la literatura japonesa.

Premio Akutagawa 2019

Critic reviews

"Una singular y entrañable heroína en el Japón de hoy. (ABC Cultural)

"Como ocurre en las novelas de Haruki Murakami o Albert Camus, Sayaka Murata encuentra una pequeña brecha y explora las cosas más cotidianas." (Literary Hub)

"Un romance gótico, en cierta manera, sobre una inadaptada y una tienda. Tranquilo, soñador, incluso, con cierto corazón sintético." (The New Yorker)

Resfreshing because of the the unconventional main character

I loved this short novel. The main character Keiko was far from an ordinary person, and following her way of thinking and seeing the world around her was really refreshing, at times also making me feel a bit uncomfortable. Somehow she was credible while unbelievably strange. I loved the reader as well.
