Out

Sandy's Book #5: Out by Natsuo Kirino

I read this book last summer but felt like reading it again because I wanted to remind myself that living in Japan can suck. It's purportedly feminist crime fiction and paints a really bleak picture of being a Japanese houswife/woman in general. This is a gleefully gory story about four ladies who work the night-shift at a bento factory and get involved in some nasty business... They are making a Hollywood movie out of it (starring white actresses no doubt) and will inevitably ruin the whole spirit of the book, so I suggest picking this up sooner rather than later. It's one of my new faves!
