"Ceremony of Life" is a collection of short stories by Sayaka Murata, for which her prose is highly regarded in Japan. At once sweet and shocking, they catch the reader off guard and linger in the memory.
By interweaving the humorous and the horrific, Murata twists social norms and traditions to reveal the inner lives of her characters: outcasts and loners. Deciphering whether the events unfold in modern Japan, the past, or an alternate reality can sometimes be quite challenging, as the characters often seem strangely normal in a frighteningly unusual world. In her strange and surprising stories about family and friendship, sex and intimacy, community and individuality, Murata asks, above all, what it means to be human in our world.
