Life Ceremony was pretty much exactly what I've come to expect from Sayaka Murata: wonderfully bizarre. I can see echoes of her other two novels in these short stories, and I really hope she decides to expand on some of the others (especially the first one!). Her mind is truly incredible.

that was a lot to unpack. to be honest, i liked the first stories VERY MUCH because it's bizarre and unsettling. for the latter stories, however, i find it more anti-climactic. but, upon sitting about it for awhile, it made me think more.  all i can say is i love narratives told by women, every shapes and forms (and weirdness). 4/5 🌟
