Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. My god. I read Convenience Store Woman by her and LOVED it - a cute, quirky story about rejecting societal expectations. Earthlings is in a similar vein but includes child abuse, paedophilia (some of the text made me squirm in my seat), and cannibalism. Absolutely bonkers.

Wow, I had no idea it was that grotesque. I know friends who’ve read it and didn’t like it, but I may have to give it a try anyway!
