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.
