Description
Life Ceremony Stories by Sayaka Murata is a collection of short fiction that explores the boundaries of human experience. This exclusive edition includes the story that first brought Sayaka Murata international acclaim, 'A Clean Marriage', which tells the tale of a happily asexual couple facing radical medical procedures to conceive a child. The book delves into taboo-breaking body horror, feminist revenge fables, and the complexities of human relationships. It's a wild ride to the outer edges of one of the most original minds in contemporary fiction, where old ladies find love and young women discover empathy in unexpected places. Published in English for the first time, this edition showcases Sayaka Murata's unique voice and perspective, offering a thought-provoking and unsettling reading experience.
