Convenience Store Woman  Murata Sayaka

I listened to this work on Amazon Audible.

Well, this was rather good, wasn't it?

It's a manageable length too, taking just about three hours to breeze through.

Amazon Audible is running a 99-yen unlimited reading fair, so I recommend giving it a quick read.

While M2E-ing, of course.




This book had received high praise on YouTube and elsewhere, so I decided to give it a read, and I found it rather interesting.

This work won the Akutagawa Prize, so you might think it's a serious novel, but personally I found it absolutely hilarious as pure entertainment.

The part where he proposed was absolutely brilliant.🤣

Why on earth would you propose marriage there? It's just laughable.

And the man in question is utterly finished as a human being.😅

And finally, it ended with a feeling of "No, no, no, is that really how it should end?"🤣




Well... it did win the Akutagawa Prize, so it does contain serious elements like satire of modern society and such, but I suppose one could just ignore all that.

It's full of laugh-out-loud moments, delightfully subverting the notion that Akutagawa Prize-winning works are serious novels.




Also, I worked part-time at a convenience store when I was a university student myself, so I know exactly what that feels like—or rather,

Well, it would be rather troublesome if they found out.🤣

当作品はAmazon Audibleで読みました

いや、これは面白かったですね~

分量的にも3時間程度でサクッと読めてしまうのでお手頃です

Amazon Audibleで99円読み放題フェアやっているので、それでサクッと読むことをオススメします

もちろんM2Eしながらね




この本はYouTube等でも評価が高かったので、試しに読んでみたのですが、自分的にかなり面白かったです

本作は芥川賞を取っているので、真面目な小説かと思われているかもしれませんが、自分としては普通にエンターテインメントとしてめっちゃ笑えました

特に結婚を申し込むところなんか最高でした🤣

いやなんでそこで結婚申し込むのとか、普通に笑える

そして、相手の男が人間として終わっています🤣

そして最後は、「いやいやいや、それで終わっていいのか」という感じで終わってしまいました🤣




まあ、、、一応芥川賞ということで、現代社会の風刺とかの真面目な要素も入っていたりとかしますが、そういうのを全部無視していいかと

とにかく笑える言動が多くて、芥川賞受賞作=真面目な小説、というイメージをいい意味で裏切ってくれます




あと自分も大学生の時にコンビニバイトやっていたので、ああこの感覚分かるな~っていうか

いや、分かってしまったら大変なんですが🤣
