In the famous title story, the protagonist loathes young girls but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. Taeko Kono's detached gaze at these events is transfixing: What are we hunting for? And why? Kono rarely gives the reader straightforward answers, rather reflecting, subverting and examining their expectations, both of what women are capable of, and of the narrative form itself.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46053213176027,"sku":"9781474619202-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781474619202-us-300.jpg?v=1726540225","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781474619202-secondhand-toddler-hunting-and-other-stories-with-an-introduction-by-sayaka-murata","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
