SAYAKA MURATA: CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN

The konbini in a small shop, opened 24/7 that you can find in every corner of Japan. This short but great novel talks about a woman who decides to spend all her time and her life working in a konbini she once found by chance. She becomes the spirit of this supermarket and the descriptions she gives us, the feelings she expresses belong to the quintessential Japanese soul. Cleanness, order, kindness, passing of seasons, obeying what the manager asks her to do. A particular life, a Zen one.
