Chronicle In Favor Of Books Grotesque

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 work of noir fiction that confirms Natsuo Kirino’s electrifying gifts.

Crit Out Of Books Grotesque

I think I liked this novel as it offers a look to modern Japan. I love reading crime novels from other countries and would definitely want to read Kirino again.I've read a Turkish translation and I was happy with the result, seeing some other reviews here the English translation being choppy- I wanted to congratulate the Turkish translator.

Few books start with a crackerjack opening; Lolita, Anna Karenina, The Journalist and the Murderer and Tale of Two Cities are the only other ones I know of. This is the 5th. And for a while she reuses the opening idea when other characters are introduced. An innovative technique.That is, she's walking down the street, see's a man she's attracted to,and begins to wonder what a baby would look like if she had one with him.His eyes? His mouth? His chin? His ???Do women all around the world think

While I had loved "Out", I was interested but certainly not enthralled by "Grotesque".Through recollections, confessions and diaries, we follow the destinies of 4 Japanese girls who meet in an exclusive Junior High School and drift apart through adulthood only to be reunited in the end through a trail of murders and sexual crimes. While one of those girls, the most brilliant and driven, gravitates towards terrorism and finds redemption through love, the other three, all of them misfits in their

I loved the author's earlier book, OUT, an incredibly compelling, as well as impossibly horrific & beautiful (if a bit too wild and implausible at the very end), novel. GROTESQUE is not as masterful although it is compelling in its own way. In this novel, Natsuo Kirino also deals with the lives of women in contemporary Japanese society, here through the lens of a cut-throat competitive educational system, the Q High School for Young Women. The principal narrator is a "half" (only

Recently, in a coffee shop near my home, I overheard one teenage boy intimating to another that if he were to ever marry it would not be to an American woman but a Japanese one because, theyre pretty, submissive, and just plain happy to be women. Noting that more than a few eyelids batted at this exclamation, I wondered how these American teenagers happened upon their conclusions. Kirinos Grotesque is a tale of two sisters growing up in Japan. Yuriko, the youngest of the pair, lacks the mental

(3.75) The other reviews can reveal what this book is about. What I wanted to share is the extreme responses this book incited in my boyfriend and me. He alternately found himself loving the narrator, Yuriko's sister, for her brutal honesty and hating her for her malice and psychological bullying of Kazue. Meanwhile, I found myself rooting the narrator on as she spoke the cruel truth about the pitiful hopelessness of Kazue's meritocratic dreams, but a moment later I wondered if that made me a
