Description

There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura is a surreal and unsettling exploration of the search for meaning in modern life. A woman's quest for employment takes her to unexpected places, from watching hidden-camera feeds to writing bus adverts for mysterious shops.

As she navigates each new job, she begins to question how she ended up in this situation and what she truly wants from her work. With a deadpan humour and dejected anxiety, the protagonist's voice is both relatable and thought-provoking.

This novel offers an imaginative and unusual take on the daily grind, with a tone that is both irreverent and thoughtful. Tsumura's writing captures the complexities of modern life with a quiet wit and insight.
