Reviews

'An exhilaratingly weird and funny Japanese novel about a long-term convenience store employee. Unsettling and totally unpredictable - my copy is now heavily underlined.' - Sally Rooney, Guardian
'Unapologetically deadpan yet enticingly comic...it's the novel's cumulative, idiosyncratic poetry that lingers, attaining a weird, fluorescent kind of beauty all of its own... Irresistible.' - Observer
