Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! This is a book that has skyrocketed in popularity lately. "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata finds its way to the top of many Top Japanese Books to Read lists. And for good reason! A book that wrestles with the questions of societal expectations, normalcy, and oddities: Convenience Store Woman is an entertaining and comedic ride if not a bit dark at times. Our copy was translated by Ginny Takemori
