      About a year or two ago, someone recommended a phenomenal dystopian novel about people who don’t have kids and are sent to live in a luxury facility where they serve a particular function for their remaining lives. It was by a Japanese author, I believe a woman. Does anyone know the name of the book and/or the author?

      Bonus question: Any other Japanese sci-fi/dystopian/magical realism book recommendations?

      For the first time in a long while I was able to follow along with a basho while it happened and only finish it a day late.

      What was everyone's thoughts for this basho?
      Favorite storyline?
      Did anyone do poorly that you thought would do well and vice versa?
