There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job

by
Kikuko Tsumura

published in

2021
Cover art
July 23, 2021 Amanda K says:
Nuanced, surreal, thought-provoking. And, at times, unsettling. A tale of burnout and the threads that start to unravel.
Unable to find the perfect job that suits her needs, a young woman discovers an alternative to the daily grind that comes with a high price.

Amanda K

I work in circulation, happily intrigued by both fiction and nonfiction because I'm most interested in storytelling itself. Reimagined fairy tales, stories that balance humor and substance or anything historical are wins for me. When I'm not at the library, I'm a floral designer who's passionate about classic films, nail art, half-marathons, vegan cooking and road tripping to destinations both big and small. And, of course, anything Disney.
