<p><b>WINNER OF THE AKUTAGAWA PRIZE</b></p><p><b>'So bracing, so strange and humane . . . I loved it.'</b> SHARLENE TEO, author of PONTI</p><p><b>'Funny . . . All the people in this novel are alive.' </b>HIROMI KAWAKAMI, author of STRANGE WEATHER IN TOKYO</p><p><b>'Witty and sharp . . . I devoured it.' </b>NATALIE SUE, bestselling author of I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL</p><p><b>'A slim but impactful novel that will make you laugh and think' </b><i>DAZED</i></p><p><b>The power dynamics of the office are never more obvious than when it comes to food: mandatory lunches with the boss, the colleague who tries to curry favour with home-baked goods, discovering the discarded remnants of someone else's late-night binge . . .</b></p><p>In their Saitama office,<b> Ashikawa </b>is the kind of woman <b>Nitani </b>knows he will likely marry: sweet, obliging, and determined to wean him off his addiction to instant noodles. But he finds himself increasingly unable to respect her - or the sugary treats she shares around the workplace, winning their colleagues' affection with baking rather than hard work.</p><p><b>Oshio </b>is bolder and uninhibited - she is Nitani's drinking buddy. In the oppressive office atmosphere, the pair grows closer, both outsiders struggling with the rigid status quo.</p><p><b>Driven to behave in increasingly absurd ways by the workplace rules that govern their lives, they must navigate the tensions of modern life: between leisure and hard work; indulgence and restraint; the promise of delicious food, and the reality of a lonely pot noodle.</b></p>
