From my bedroom window I turn to standing stone,
solidifying the image like a painter, or a thief.

Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata

In true Sayaka Murata fashion these weird short stories focus on the breaking of societal norms. Some of these focus on gender norms with one short story focusing on two women who live together as friends and have children with one another. Others focus on norms surrounding food with the titular short story focusing on cannibalism.

This is a short story collection that focuses on dystopian futures. From gender segregation to interplanetary colonisation.
