Anthony's Recommendation
"This novel is incredible. An exploration of parasocial relationships, sex, friendship and the decision to bring a child into the world. And the final hundred pages are bat-shit awesome. Sayaka Murata is the best. Murata's previous novel, Earthlings, was unforgettably fucked up in the best way. This one is about an alternate version of Japan where sex between married couples becomes taboo and all children are the product of artificial insemination. Can't wait for this #NewBookTuesday."
