Convenience Store Woman
Convenience Store Woman is a refreshing story by Japanese novelist Sayaka.
Keiko, who has always felt out of place in society, is ‘at home’ in the ‘Hirmoachi Station Smile Mart’–a convenience store in Tokyo. She has spent 18 years of her life at the same place–greeting customers, stocking shelves and managing the cash register. There is a structure in her daily routine, which she finds comforting. Her world revolves around the convenience store, and she thinks of it even when she is not at work. For her, the store is not just a job. It’s her life.
