FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY, INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Mind-blowing, twisted and wildly entertaining, Earthlings asks: how far would you go just to be yourself?

As a child, Natsuki believed she was an alien, a different species to her earthling family and classmates. She hoped a spaceship would come down and take her home. Now, she lives quietly in an asexual marriage, pretending to be normal.

But the buried horrors of Natsuki s past are pursuing her. As she flees the suburbs for the Nagano mountains and a reunion with her beloved cousin Yuu, she wonders, what will it take to escape the earthlings?

One of the most celebrated of the new generation of Japanese writers, Sayaka Murata has won not only the prestigious Akutagawa Prize, but the Gunzo, Noma, and Mishima Yukio Prizes as well. Her story, A Clean Marriage , was featured in Granta 127 Japan. She is 36-years-old and works part-time in a convenience store.

Ginny Tapley Takemori has translated Ryu Murakami, Miyabe Miyuki, Akiyuki Nosaka, and Kyotaro Nishimura, among others. Her translation of Tomiko Inui s The Secret of the Blue Glass was shortlisted for the Marsh Award.
