Description
The startling first collection of dark, surreal, and unsettling stories from the international prize-winning author of The Woman in the Purple Skirt – with an afterword by Sayaka Murata, author of the international bestseller Convenience Store Women.
Asa tries to give her classmate a biscuit.
Nami evades her classmates’ playground game of acorn-throwing.
Happy decides she’s not interested in doing anything other than lying down on her sofa.
Each of these three stories begins in a reasonable place – but by the end you’ll find yourself in another world altogether...
