Nothing in Japanese literature prepares us for the stark, tension-filled, plot-driven realism of Natsuo Kirino’s award-winning literary mystery Out .
This mesmerizing novel tells the story of a brutal murder in the staid Tokyo suburbs, as a young mother who works the night shift making boxed lunches strangles her abusive husband and then seeks the help of her coworkers to dispose of the body and cover up her crime. The coolly intelligent Masako emerges as the plot’s ringleader, but quickly discovers that this killing is merely the beginning, as it leads to a terrifying foray into the violent underbelly of Japanese society.
At once a masterpiece of literary suspense and pitch-black comedy of gender warfare, Out is also a moving evocation of the pressures and prejudices that drive women to extreme deeds, and the friendships that bolster them in the aftermath.
Natsuo Kirino, born in 1951, quickly established a reputation in her own country as one of a rare breed of mystery writer whose work goes well beyond the conventional crime novel. This fact has been demonstrated by her winning not only the Grand Prix for Crime Fiction in Japan–for Out in 1998–but one of its major literary awards–the Naoki Prize in 1999, for Soft Cheeks (to be published in English). Several of her books have also been turned into full-scale movies.
Out is the first of her novels to appear in English and was nominated for an Edgar Award. Natsuo Kirino lives in Japan.
这是一本没有推理的推理小说,也没有悬念和恍然大悟。 作者笔触冷硬,分尸写得像装盒饭一样细致而冷冰冰。就像主角雅子,大胆,谨慎,理智,还有孤独。她的越界,绝不是为了什么主妇闺蜜的友情,也不是为了钱,她只是无所谓的就偏离了,因为她找不到不偏离的理由,找不到心之所...

我也喜欢结尾…
评分Violence, peace, sex, hatred and love can never be parted.
评分Violence, peace, sex, hatred and love can never be parted.
评分如果不是为了练习日语…。加害者与受害者在精神层面的融合,也太扯了吧!把施虐狂写出了情圣的境界,关键是,受害者居然理解了,接受了!!!???WTF!
评分都说结尾不好,但是我恰恰对结尾最有感觉。
