Join Harold Washington Library Center for a discussion of Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. "Keiko is an unusual person, someone who has never fit in, but when she takes a job at a 'Smile Mart' she finally finds peace and purpose in her daily tasks. But there is huge pressure on Keiko--to pursue a career, to find a husband--and she feels forced to take desperate action in order to please the people around her instead of herself. Is there room in this 'normal' world for someone as strange as Keiko?" In Translation Book Club meets monthly on the 3rd or 4th Saturday of each month, holidays permitting. All selections are books that have been translated to English from another language. Copies of this month's title will be available at the Popular Library reference desk starting October 25th.
