Four women who work the night shift in a Tokyo factory that produces boxed lunches find their lives twisted beyond repair in this grimly compelling crime novel, which won Japan's top mystery award, the Grand Prix, for its already heralded author, now making her first appearance in English. Despite the female bonding, this dark, violent novel is more evocative of Gogol or Dostoyevsky than Thelma and Louise. When Yayoi, the youngest and prettiest of the women, strangles her philandering gambler husband with his own belt in an explosion of rage, she turns instinctively for help to her co-worker Masako, an older and wiser woman whose own family life has fallen apart in less dramatic fashion. To help her cut up and get rid of the dead body, Masako recruits Yoshie and Kuniko, two fellow factory workers caught up in other kinds of domestic traps. In Snyder's smoothly unobtrusive translation, all of Kirino's characters are touching and believable. And even when the action stretches to include a slick loan shark from Masako's previous life and a pathetically lost and lonely man of mixed Japanese and Brazilian parentage, the gritty realism of everyday existence in the underbelly of Japan's consumer society comes across with pungent force. FYI: This novel has been made into a Japanese motion picture.

From Booklist
A suburban Tokyo woman fed up with her loutish husband kills him in a fit of anger, then confesses her crime to a coworker on the night shift at the boxed-lunch factory. The coworker enlists the help of two other women at the factory to dismember and dispose of the body. Readers beware--Kirino's first mystery to be published in English (it was a best-seller in Japan) involves no madcap female bonding. The tenuous friendship between the four women, all with problems of their own even before becoming accessories to murder, begins to unravel almost immediately. Money changes hands. The body parts are discovered. The police begin asking questions, and a very bad man falsely accused of the crime is determined to find out who really deserves the punishment. The gritty neighborhoods, factories, and warehouses of Tokyo provide a perfect backdrop for this bleak tale of women who are victims of circumstance and intent on self-preservation at all costs.

n年前买过《异常》,看了三遍实在是太喜欢了,当时就知道这本《out》,感觉肯定也非常好看,就是一直舍不得看,最近突然想起来就买了一本。 网上有的版本炒得很贵,看到这本是上海文艺出的觉得应该不会差,到手后确实不错,书挺厚但是异常的轻,可能是节约成本问题吧,纸质可能...
评分重口味的漫画看的不多(大逃杀漫画版《生存游戏》应该算吧,台版都没出完宣布紧急回收,最后几本在网上找原文扫描版硬是一页页啃光),倒是被黑暗女王的文字吓了一跳:说实话分尸教程什么的都算还好,OUT之后的主妇们的前路,看的是一愣一愣的。果然我是相信文字力量的人啊...
评分 评分期待已久的再版却是拖了一年多才开始阅读。本作虽然荣获日本推理作家协会奖,其实并没有多少推理成分,甚至缺少传统的“侦探”角色:不但警察的侦破方向陷入歧路,且在完成“逮捕再释放佐竹”的任务后便消失无踪(尤其是那位颇为敏锐的今井也一并消声匿迹,实在是很不自然),...
