Natsuo Kirino made a spectacular fiction debut on these shores with the publication of Edgar Award-nominated Out (“Daring and disturbing . . . Prepared to push the limits of this world . . . Remarkable”—Los Angeles Times). Unanimously lauded for her unique, psychologically complex, darkly compelling vision and voice, she garnered a multitude of enthusiastic fans eager for more.
In her riveting new novel Grotesque, Kirino once again depicts a barely known Japan. This is the story of three Japanese women and the interconnectedness of beauty and cruelty, sex and violence, ugliness and ambition in their lives.
Tokyo prostitutes Yuriko and Kazue have been brutally murdered, their deaths leaving a wake of unanswered questions about who they were, who their murderer is, and how their lives came to this end. As their stories unfurl in an ingeniously layered narrative, coolly mediated by Yuriko’s older sister, we are taken back to their time in a prestigious girls’ high school—where a strict social hierarchy decided their fates—and follow them through the years as they struggle against rigid societal conventions.
Shedding light on the most hidden precincts of Japanese society today, Grotesque is both a psychological investigation into the female psyche and a classic work of noir fiction. It is a stunning novel, a book that confirms Natsuo Kirino’s electrifying gifts.</p>

为什么我们活的如此努力,却又显得如此滑稽不堪?爱情,亲情,友情,自我价值……当这些本该唾手可得的东西变得遥不可及的时候,什么开始蠢蠢欲动?晦涩的,阴霾的,黑暗面的一切统统都是桐野夏生要讲述的故事——异常。 从《越界》到《异常》,桐野有变有没变,她偏爱写女性...
评分這本書可能看的會有點辛苦,因為主人翁並不討喜、也難得到讀者的認同,而且書中有許多感覺有點囉唆、不著邊際、又總說不到主題似地的女人自述方法。 但是比起桐野夏生之前的《out主婦殺人事件》或是《柔嫩的臉頰》,覺得桐野非常有進步。整本書非常細膩地描繪出人類深層的無奈...

评分 评分从1998年的《越界》到2003年的《异常》,还是讲女人,还是偏离正常轨道的主题,还是群像模式,还是那么犀利和充满负面的煽动力,已经年过知天命的桐野追问我们,为了获得正常的生活,你到底愿意变得多么异常? 然而与《越界》不同,《异常》的表达方式仿佛走向镜子的内里:来...
