{"product_id":"life-ceremony","title":"Life ceremony","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the author of international bestseller Convenience Store Woman comes a collection of weird, out of this world short fiction. An engaged couple falls out over the husband's dislike of clothes and objects made from human materials; a young girl finds herself deeply enamoured with the curtain in her childhood bedroom; people honour their dead by eating them and then procreating. Published in English for the first time, this edition also includes the story that first brought Sayaka Murata international acclaim: 'A Clean Marriage', which tells the story of a happily asexual couple who must submit to some radical medical procedures if they are to conceive a child. Mixing taboo-breaking body horror with feminist revenge fables, Life Ceremony is a wild ride to the outer edges of one of the most original minds in contemporary fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42483177816215,"sku":"9781783787388","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/B09QYB321T.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500.jpg?v=1684326906","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/life-ceremony","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
