A review by pauralalmer
Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino

3.5

another natsuo kirino book touching on the ills of japanese society, once again with a focus on the women's struggles underneath a sexist society and where it can drive them, how it shifts them. i enjoy being able to get a glimpse of different moments through different perspectives, the contradictions of each character, but even then it isn't my favorite work of natsuo kirino's. i don't know if it's the translation, but the writing wasn't getting to me this time around.
