"Ceremony of Life" is a collection of short stories by Sayaka Murata, for which her prose is highly regarded in Japan. Cute and shocking at the same time they take the reader by surprise and remain in the memory for a long time.
Intertwining the funny and the terrible, Murata turns inside out the norms of morality and traditions of society to show the inner world of her characters: outcasts and loners. Whether the events unfold in contemporary Japan, in the past, or in an alternate reality, it is sometimes quite difficult to understand where they are unfolding, as the characters often seem strangely normal in a frighteningly unusual world. In his strange and surprising tales of family and friendship, sex and intimacy, community and individuality, Murata asks above all what it means to be human in our world.
