Earthlings

Mind blowing, dark and wild, the new novel from Sayaka Murata - author of bestseller Convenience Store Woman - asks: how far would you go just to be yourself?

I loved this book! It easily converted me to being an alien. A radical, hilarious, heartbreaking look at the crap we have all internalized in order to fit in and survive

A firecracker of a book...the story skates along the top of all this darkness, and shimmers with a deadpan wit. I loved it
