Little or nothing in Japanese literature prepares us for the stark, tension-filled, plot-driven realism of Natsuo Kirino's award-winning literary mystery Away. This mesmerizing novel tells the storyplot of an 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 assistance of her coworkers to get rid of the body and hide her offense. The coolly wise Masako emerges as the plot's ringleader but quickly discovers that killing is only the start, as it brings about a terrifying foray in to the violent underbelly of Japanese culture. Simultaneously a masterpiece of literary suspense and pitch-black humor of gender warfare, Out is also a moving evocation of the stresses and prejudices that drive women to extreme deeds and the friendships that bolster them in the aftermath.
