Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino
Yuriko had been working as a prostitute all her life. Kazue chose to walk the streets at night where she hoped to get noticed. Both women exhibited exceptional promise prior to their brutal deaths. How and why did this tragedy occur? With narration from Yuriko's sister and through the girls' journals and diaries, this book presents their story.
Natsuo Kirino, born in 1951, quickly established a reputation in Japan as one of a rare breed of crime writer whose work goes well beyond the conventional crime novel. This fact has been demonstrated by her winning not only Japan's top mystery award, for Out, but one of its major literary awards, the Naoki Prize, for Soft Cheeks. Several of her books have also been turned into movies. Grotesque is the second of her novels to appear in English.
