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>

读后感

桐野夏生,原名橋岡まり子,轻小说家出身的女性作家.自转战纯文学领域以来,先后获得江户川乱步赏, 直木赏,泉镜花赏和日本推理作家協會賞等文学大奖,堪称是平成冷硬派女作家的杰出代表。其笔下的主人公多为女性，以描写女子阴暗心理而著称。 桐野夏生原来的笔名是野原野枝實，发...  

有多渴望这个世界，就有多痛恨这个世界。 把这个世界踩踏在脚下，正如生活把我们狠狠地揉搓和凌辱一般。 桐野夏生作为日本轻小说家的代表，写出了一个不一样的世界。 阴鹜，潮湿，暴烈的人性。女人们都似怀着鬼胎的人魔，在现世的混乱和沌浊中沉浮挣扎。踩着他人的尸体和臂膀...  

她写了这么暗黑腐朽的世界，我怎么一点都不愤怒呢？非但不愤怒，好像还很愉快地跟着体验了一把堕落的快感，然后，是无力感、虚无、困惑，以及蛋蛋的悲伤……啊，这是怎么了？难道我的三观跟着生日蜡烛一起烧掉了么……想了很久，我决定无节操地把责任推给写故事的...  

我本来是关注日本推理小说，看有人提到怪物们的晚宴和ＯＵＴ，就托朋友从台湾带回来看，一看，才知道不怎么算推理，但是文字很好，我总觉得那是好书，也不知道为什么好，我还读＜怪物们的晚宴＞给老婆听，觉得文字太好了，朗读起来也很美的地步 　　之所以喜欢桐野夏生，除了...

what the hell is this, high school drama queens stabbing each others in the back? hate and jealousy fills every sentence, even that's probably by design, it'd be better suited as a case study for psycho analysis. annoyed the hell out of me.
