"I want to welcome you into my world of fiction with "Chandelier", a story about a woman who spends all her time in a department store. Not working there. Just being there. It's a story that looks at how we live and die, how the past can shift with our memories, and how it can infiltrate the present in unexpected ways. It brings me such joy to celebrate the important work of independent bookstores and share "Chandelier" with you." - Mieko Kawakami
