About This Item
US: FABER ET FABER, 2023. Paperback. New. From the author of international bestseller Convenience Store Woman comes a collection of short fiction: weird, out of this world and like nothing you 've read before. An engaged couple falls out over the husband's dislike of clothes and objec ts made from human materials; a young girl finds herself deeply enamoured w ith the curtain in her childhood bedroom; people honour their dead by eatin g them and then procreating. Published in English for the first time, this exclusive edition also includes the story that first brought Sayaka Murata international acclaim: ‘A Clean Marriage', which tells the story of a happi ly asexual couple who must submit to some radical medical procedures if the y are to conceive a longed-for child. Mixing taboo-breaking body horror with feminist revenge fables, old ladies who love each other and young women finding empathy and transformation in unlikely places, Life Ceremony is a wild ride to the outer edges of one of the most original minds in contemporary fiction.
