“The 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 the moral norms and traditions of society inside out to show the inner world of his heroes: outcasts and loners. Understanding whether the events are taking place in modern Japan, in the past, or in an alternate reality can sometimes be quite difficult, as the characters often seem unusually normal in a frighteningly unusual world. In his strange and wonderful tales of family and friendship, sex and intimacy, community and individuality, Murata asks above all what it means to be human in our world.
