One day she announces that she can't clear away her colleagues' dirty cups-because she's pregnant and the smell nauseates her. The only thing is . . . Ms. Shibata is not pregnant. Pregnant Ms. Shibata doesn't have to serve coffee to anyone. Pregnant Ms. Shibata isn't forced to work overtime. Pregnant Ms. Shibata rests, watches TV, takes long baths, and even joins an aerobics class for expectant mothers. But pregnant Ms. Shibata also has a nine-month ruse to keep up. Helped along by towel-stuffed shirts and a diary app on which she can log every stage of her "pregnancy," she feels prepared to play the game for the long haul. Before long, though, the hoax becomes all-absorbing, and the boundary between her lie and her life begins to dissolve. A surreal and wrylyhumorous cultural critique, Diary of a Void is bound to become a landmark in feminist world literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 700 1 $a Boyd, David $q (David G.), $e translator. 700 1 $a North, Lucy, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Yagi, Emi, 1988- $t Diary of a void $d [New York] : Viking, 2022 $z 9780525508366 $w (DLC) 2021057688 941 $a 7 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025033.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230912012723.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20230428010408.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014337.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20220929012747.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011539.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220902012540.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5B3293E17A811EDAB416C554FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
