fortemente conturbante, e non per il finale.
vorrei sapere chi è il demente che l'ha etichettato come fantasy

Written in the first person by a woman who finds her place as a convenience store worker, this short, satirical novel is full of wit and brings the reader a unique character. Keiko has found home in her employment, where the rules are laid out in a manual, whereas she has found the expectations of behavior in the wider world bewildering. Comical, dark, and poignant, it is well worth a read.
