Fumio Yamamoto: The Dilemmas of Working Women, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A darkly funny, relatable and tender book about five women in modern Japan - that has been a hugely beloved and influential bestseller there, with over 450, 000 copies sold, but has never before been published in English

THE DILEMMAS OF WORKING WOMEN brings together five clear-eyed, wickedly funny novellas about women navigating their identities as workers and as women in contemporary Japan. The book explores the situations of five similarly 'difficult' women who are dealing with the pressures of a capitalist society, a theme as relevant to the present day as it was at the turn of the millennium. Darkly witty, quietly hilarious, and exceptionally relatable, THE DILEMMAS OF WORKING WOMEN builds on Yamamoto's own experiences as a working woman and probes questions about the value of work itself and the meaning of employment for women in a world built by and for men.
