Mat hat Earthlings von Sayaka Murata besprochen
For connoisseurs of black comedy only
4 Sterne
When I mentioned to a friend I was reading this book, their first reaction was "oh my god, brace yourself!!!". Having finished it, I can see why it gets such a recreation, given it deals with some very taboo subjects.
It reminded me of the film Kinds Of Kindness by Yorgos Lanthimos, as what they both have in common is I have friends who found the stories too subversive, despite being fans of Convenience Store Woman and Poor Things respectively.
However, if dark black comedy is your thing, I would highly recommend this as there were moments listening to this book where I burst in laughter because of the ridiculous depravity of some scenes.
