COMPOSITION AND PLOT CONSTRUCTION IN SAYAKA MURATA’S NOVEL "CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN"

Abstract

This article presents an analysis devoted to compositional building of an I-novel called "Convenience store woman" written by famous Japanese writer Sayaka Murata. In her provocative, topical and exciting novel, Murata explores the boundaries of such important concepts as "normal life" and "social success". Showing the life of a woman who stubbornly builds her own destiny across all the typical ideas of "norm", "happiness" and "achievements", Murata masterfully has an emotional impact on the reader and makes the reader doubt things that seemed unshakable and self-evident.
