Out A Thriller Natsuo Kirino Books

Out is intense. Like really intense. Parts of it made me nauseous with its unflinching look at its more gruesome aspects. Don't be afraid to take breaks if you need it.

But let's talk about what this novel is about. It's about four women and what they do to escape from their tragic lives, whether its debt, abusive husbands, a past that lurks on the edges of our visions or perhaps loneliness. It explores sexism and how women are assessed based on their looks, but this because this novel is written from a Japanese author this novel takes a distinctly Japanese method of exploring its themes. The characters are sharply drawn, each with their own problems (and if there was any confusion its because the names are unfamiliar to my English pallete). They're flawed but still sympathetic if not always likable. The theme of escape follows to the male characters as well, and it tackles everything until the bloody climax and its (happy?) ending.

Its similar to Widows, the Steve Mcqueen movie in that addresses four women and how they are taking power for their lives in opposition to the men in their lives. But this differs in structure and its political commentary.

This novel is a unique beast. Handle with caution.

Out A Thriller Natsuo Kirino Books Reviews

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I picked up "Out" and at every turn as I progressed through the book, I found new surprises.

To be sure, this tale of four women who work the night shift at a lunch-packaging factory, and what happens to them when they band together to dispose of the body of a wayward husband, was bound to have a darker edge. And so it does, even moreso than expected. As their deceptions mount and attract the attention of loan sharks and yakuza and other less savory characters, their bonds of fellowship become strained to the breaking point, leading to an unpredictable and dramatic conclusion.

I think, more than anything, appreciated Kirino's steady tone throughout the book, and her ability to take seemingly disparate strands of story and character and tie them together in ways that make sense. She plumbs the depths of all her characters, both their strengths and weaknesses, and what emerges is a compelling portrait of friendship tested and loyalties questioned. Her characters quickly become real people, and she portrays them with compassion, but also with a pragmatist's careful eye. All told, it makes for a really good story.

If you think you know how it's going to end, think again. This one's sure to surprise you.
It is funny that my male friends who read this book said, "I cannot believe women can do such a thing," but I am sure we (women) can do that. This is one of the best crime fiction I have evern read. I don't like the ending, but it is still worth to read.
Great!! Took a chance ordered and It was the first time I was literally on the edge of my seat while reading a book. It starts slow but the plot snowballs really quickly into this suspenseful joy ride. My friends who read it loved it as well!
I found the comments of Japriot interesting since they are so consistant with comments I have from a sophisticated and completely bilingual Japanese woman. When I praised this novel to her, she went into a thousand yard stare and asked me who the translator was. Subsequently, although she had not read the English translation herself, she said she did not think such a masterpiece of Japanese literary style could be translated fully into any other language. This was in keeping with my observation that for a novel of the most thououghly aesthetic culture in the world, the style of the story as translated was utterly prosaic and seemed to call for language as extreme as the eventual revelations of the protagonists themselves. I have met at least one other English speaker who has heard this judgment and holds Out in the same high esteem I do. I can only conclude that this fabulous noir masterpiece, with its profound explication of the utterly suppressed ids of two intense people whose energies are held in check by extremely powerful superegos that lead to a confrontation of nuclear intensity, must touch on something that is deeply universal in us in the west as well as the Japanese. The work is a masterpiece of noir, of existentialism, and the expression of the wild deep atavistic nature that lurks in the hearts of all our species. A stunning masterpiece in any language.
I love this book. It has such brilliant, slow, steady pacing but you can feel it rushing up to its climax. The author, a woman herself, writes women so well and so believable. The plotting is so dense and complex. The ending I find unsatisfying in that it's incredibly uncomfortable and rapey, but I know people who actively disagree with me and find it fitting. You'll have to decide for yourself. But leading up to the ending, the plot is like a slow freight train, gradually picking up speed and eventually heading towards you at 120mph. I wish more of Natsuo Kirino's books could be translated to English--she's a wonderful author.
Natsuo Kirino has written a crime-mystery novel, OUT, that's about as brutal and hard-edged as anything I've ever read. Ms. Kirino takes her tale to the very edge, then unflinchingly goes over it.

The story begins innocently enough as we meet four women who work together on the night shift at the local boxed-lunch factory. The author gives us a look into the lives of each of them, and shows us the dynamic that exists among them as co-workers and friends. Masako Katori emerges as the strongest personality, and not unlike the others, has parts of her past she'd prefer to remain secret.

The pivotal event occurs when one of the friends, Yayoi Yamamoto, finally snaps at at the hands of her brutalizing husband and kills him. With the help of her friends, some reluctantly, they dispose of the body. Just how they do it, I won't divulge here, but be prepared, for that and for all that follows. A harrowing thrill-ride into the dark depths of Japanese society. I'll be looking for more from Ms. Kirino, probably her novel GROTESQUE next. Good read!
