Measuring the Distance Between Contemporary Japanese Literature and the Anthropocene Through the Works of Sayaka Murata: Focusing on “Eating the City,” “Survival,” and “Harmless Creature.”

Koichi Haga

This paper focuses on two works by Murata Sayaka, one of the few authors in Japan who writes climate change fiction: “Survival” (2019) and “Harmless Creature” (2024). By comparing these works with her earlier “Eating the City” (2009), this study aims to elucidate Murata’s environmental perspective as represented in her works.
