“Brings the mystery thriller to new levels of intensity and realism. Kirino knows not only everybody’s business but everybody’s mind–her way with interior monologue is pungent and prismatic.” – The Village Voice “Daring and disturbing, Out is prepared to push the limits of this world–not only in violence and sex but also in human outlook. No gritty urban American tale of violence can match the horror of Out.” –Carol Memmott, USA Today “A brutally realistic picture of contemporary society. “Masterful and psychologically astute.” – San Francisco Chronicle a scathing allegory about the subjugation of women in Japanese society and the secret lives this forces them to lead.” –The New York Times “Mingling biting feminist commentary with engrossing storytelling. definitely not for the faint-of-heart.” –Minneapolis Star-Tribune “A gutsy, unflinching foray into the darkest, most dangerous recesses of the human soul. Like Walter Mosley, exploits the beat-down potential of the hard-boiled novel to depict life on society's bottom in ways that subtly read as one part social protest, one part sadomasochistic entertainment.” –The Village Voice A potent cocktail of urban blight, perverse feminism and vigilante justice.” – The New York Times Book Review Out has the force of a juicy tabloid scandal.
