If you like short fiction that feels playful and unsettling at once, this one really stands out. Aoko Matsuda takes everyday sexism and turns it inside out with wit, oddity, and sharp intelligence, so the stories can feel funny even as they leave a sting. It’s the kind of collection readers often love for how boldly strange it is, while still saying something piercingly true.
