whoever decided that 2 books from Natsuo Kirino will be 195mm tall and then the matching 3rd one will, for some reason, be 190mm…. you're bad at your job and you should feel bad.

#the covers are literally designed to match!!!!! who decided to make Real World shorter than the other 2!!!! it's obviously shorter!!! #will i survive them not being the same height on my shelf? yes. will it irk me forever that someone consciously chose that height? also yes #specifically crying about the UK book covers designed by penguin vintage #books #Natsuo Kirino #Evie reads #tumblring by moonlight

Just One More Page Challenge Day 20: Set in a Country Other Than Yours.

While I am looking to joining the JET program, I do not currently live in Japan, hence my pick for this prompt!

I try to read a lot of translated works, but I am definitely partial to Japanese literature. I particularly love Out for how it explores the role of women in Japanese society through the framework of a murder-mystery thriller.

Can't believe the book i started reading because i wanted to read something that would disturb me out of my depression, that I found by searching for "most disturbing books" was actually really fucking disturbing. Shocked and appalled but also completely in awe

Ecco che cos’era la morte: un vuoto immenso, infinito. Come il cielo buio che si estendeva a perdita d’occhio fuori da quella stanza. In che modo avrebbe vissuto la nuova realtà in cui Seiji non c’era più? Aveva cercato di prepararsi, era convinta di essere pronta ad affrontare la sua assenza, ma non aveva capito niente.

[…]

La morte – pensò ancora una volta Tamaki – è un grande vuoto che recide ogni legame. Quelli che restano non possono fare altro che continuare a stringere in mano un filo il cui capo opposto pende pietosamente.

“Men live by rules they've made for themselves. And among those rules is one specifying that women are merely commodities for men to possess. A daughter belongs to her father, a wife to her husband. A woman's own desires present obstacles for men and are best ignored.”

- Natsuo Kirino’s ‘Grotesque.’

C’è una certa somiglianza tra la sensazione di aver perso la strada e non sapere dove andare e la consapevolezza di non avere più la possibilità di tornare indietro. Ci si sente assolutamente liberi.

The reason you haven’t been able to overcome your sense of inferiority is not she was beautiful (and you weren’t) but because you could never share her sense of freedom - “Grotesque”, Natsuo Kirino (i’m in love)

– Natsuo Kirino, Out

#book quote of the day #natsuo kirino #out #horror fiction #japanese literature #contemporary crime novel #japanese author #book quotes

[quotation--marks]

Yayoi stared at the wedding ring on her finger as if she'd never seen it before. It was a plain platinum ring. She and Kenji had gone to a department store to pick it out one warm Sunday in early spring. He'd taken one look at the showcase and then asked for the most expensive one they had; after all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. She could still remember how flustered and happy she'd felt that day. Where had those feelings gone? What had happened to that happy couple? She had killed Kenji. The cry of pain that she'd refused to utter burst from her now as the enormity of her act sank in at last.
