Natsuo Kirino (桐野 夏生Kirino Natsuo, born October 7, 1951 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture) is the pen name of Mariko Hashioka,[1] a Japanese novelist and a leading figure in the recent boom of female writers of Japanese detective fiction.[2]
- Natsuo Kirino, celebrated author of Out, seamlessly weaves together the stories of these women's struggles within the conventions and restrictions of Japanese society. At once a psychological investigation of the pressures facing Japanese women and a classic work of noir fiction, Grotesque is a brilliantly twisted novel of ambition, desire.

Biography[edit]
Kirino is the middle child of three.[3] She has two brothers, one who is six years older and one who is five years younger.[3] Her father was an architect.[2] Kirino has lived in many different cities, including her current residence, Tokyo.[3] Kirino married in 1975[2] and had a daughter in 1981.[3]
She earned a law degree in 1974 from Seikei University,[2] and she dabbled in many fields of work before settling on being a writer.[3] For example, not knowing what she wanted to do in life, Kirino began working at the Iwanami Hall movie theater in her early twenties.[4] She soon discovered it wasn't right for her and just before her thirtieth birthday she started taking scriptwriting classes.[4] It wasn't until she was in her thirties that she began to seriously think about becoming a writer,[4] and it wasn't until her forties that she became popular as a writer.[5]

Literary career[edit]
Kirino began her writing career in 1984 when she first started off composing novels in the romantic genre.[6] However, these types of novels were not popular in Japan, so she found it difficult to make a living while writing them.[6] She also did not have a passion for writing romance novels and wanted to concentrate on works focusing on the psychological aspect of crimes.[6] She then turned her focus towards writing mystery novels in the early 1990s.[6] To date, she has written several short story collections and many novels,[7] and is now one of Japan's most popular writers.[8]
She is most famous for her 1997 novel, Out, which received the Mystery Writers of Japan Award, Japan's top mystery award, and was a finalist (in English translation) for the 2004 Edgar Award.[2] In addition, Kirino received the 1993 Edogawa Rampo Prize for mystery fiction for her debut novel, Kao ni Furikakaru Ame (Rain Falling on My Face), and the 1999 Naoki Prize for her novel Yawarakana hoho (Soft Cheeks).
So far, four of her novels (Out, Grotesque, Real World, and The Goddess Chronicle, the last of which was written for the Canongate Myth Series) have been translated into English, with Out being the first.[7] A further novel, In is scheduled for publication in 2013.
In spite of writing in stories in the genre, Kirino does not particularly like mysteries. As far as influential books from her childhood, Kirino cites Two Years' Vacation, The Three Musketeers, and Little Women as favorites.[1] She also feels that her vices are things such as laziness, wastefulness, and being too emotional.[1] However, she says that if she were to try to correct these traits, she would lose her ability to write novels.[1] Kirino enjoys reading, seeing, and tasting the creative work of other people, as well as contemplating ideas for her next novels.[1]
Many critics challenged and criticized Kirino for her storylines, especially for Out, by saying women should only be writing love stories.[4] In fact, one male radio host refused to talk with her because of the fact she wrote about a husband being murdered by his own wife.[5] However, her fiction has been mirrored by reality with an increasing number of bizarre murders in Japan such as the woman who in 2007 murdered her husband, dismembered his body, and dumped the parts across Tokyo.[2]
However, “Astroworld” is confirmed to be an album while the other project is not, so it could still end up being a mixtape or EP. Astroworld will either be the second or third album from Scott, as he has another project “Bird in the Trap Sing McKnight” set to drop before this one. Goosebumps travis scott free mp3 download.

Writing style and themes[edit]
Kirino's works, such as Out, asks the reader what he/she would do if something awful happened to her/him.[4] By writing novels that people can relate to, Kirino hopes her novels can help her readers through hard times and be comforted.[4] She has apparently been successful in reaching readers emotionally; for example Kirino was approached by a woman who thanked her for the liberation she felt after reading Out.[4]
Her work is reminiscent of American hardboiled detective stories, but her use of multiple narratives and perspectives provide 'no authoritative master narrative . . . that finally reassures the reader which of the many voices one is to trust'.[2] Her prose style has been described as 'flat,' 'functional,' and 'occasionally illuminated by a strange lyricism.'[9] Unlike most hardboiled fiction, Kirino's novels often feature a female protagonist such as her detective Miro Murano, who complicates the typical hardboiled role of females by becoming both detective and victim.[10] By doing this, Kirino 'implicates [the reader] in the voyeuristic pleasure of the detective genre by making [the reader] conscious of [the] act of watching.'[10] Kirino said she is fascinated by human nature and what makes someone with a completely clean record suddenly turn into a criminal.
In addition to comparisons with hardboiled crime fiction, Kirino's work has been compared with horror fiction (the gruesome dismemberment scenes in Out, for example) and proletarian literature such as Kanikōsen.[8]
Kirino has noted that her work can be viewed as a portrait of contemporary Japanese life, contrasting it with the work of Haruki Murakami, who she feels writes more for a global audience, calling his work 'global literature.'[4] Critic Sophie Harrison has argued that Kirino presents a less-sanitized version of Japan, far from the stereotypical images of cherry blossoms and Hello Kitty, and deals with sordid subjects such as crime and prostitution in her work.[7]
Loneliness often seems to be a theme in her work, as is the idea that materialism and money have corrupted modern Japanese life, especially where family and romantic relationships are concerned.[2] In fact, Out has been interpreted as 'a cautionary tale of personal finance'[9] and 'a grim portrayal of Japan's underclasses, of its female characters' lives, and of the social, sexual, and economic injustice that they face.'[8]
In a 2003 interview with JapanReview.net,[1] Kirino revealed the inspiration behind her dark themes and fast-moving plots. When asked what motivates her to write, Kirino said: “I am the type of person who always wants to be straightforward in dealing with my emotions, and my way of life, and my will. Because I am a complicated person, I can't otherwise work or live on a day-to-day basis in any sort of healthy manner.”[1] As for the methodology behind her writing, if it is a piece that is to be read in one sitting, she quickly bores into the theme of the work; if it is serialized, then she engulfs herself in the information before splitting it into blocks. Kirino said that she considers herself a “deviant” writer who does not fit into a simple category. Her main motivation to write is to “observe the fabric of human relationships.”[1]
Most of Kirino’s novels center upon women and crime. Typically, in her novels, such as Out, Kirino mainly focuses on women who do unimaginable things, which is why her books can be considered as “feminist noir.”[5] She writes in a convincing, realistic type of way, which leads to the greatness of her work stemming from 'her ability to put us inside the skins of these women.”[5] This focus on more realistic portrayals of Japanese women seems to be a trademark of her work, found in many of her novels such as Grotesque.[7] She is also committed to giving women recognition in Japanese literature, where they are often resigned to sexual and domestic roles. The author recounts how a young man once told her that until he read Out, he “never realized that regular middle aged women actually had a life.”[1] Society, she says, takes advantage of powerless women and it is her goal to create empowered female characters to show readers the power of the “weaker sex.”[1] For these reasons, she has been called the 'queen of Japanese crime.'[9] In fact, the plot of Out has been described as a framework for her critique of 'the problems of ordinary women in contemporary Japanese society.'[9]
Works in English translation[edit]

Significance of Title - Kirino explains that the title Out has many meanings attached to it—out as in “off the path” or “exit,” out as in “no good,” and out as in “outside.”[1] She believes there is “a certain kind of freedom in being completely ‘out.’ If you go out one exit, there’s another door, and if you open that, you don’t know what awaits you'[1] When asked about the broken bonds in the story, the author says she believes there is no such thing as society and that we are essentially solitary creatures. This becomes clear when people unconsciously release their true nature by committing deviant acts. The book’s title clearly conveys the experience of being on the out-side of social groups.
Reception -Out had an initial print run of 500,000 in Japan.[2] Although Kirino received much criticism for her gruesome and disturbing scenes, Out sold a significantly large number of copies, won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award,[1] and was even made into a film directed by Hideyuki Hirayama, which was released in 2002. According to Variety, New Line Cinema has purchased the rights for an American version, to be directed by Hideo Nakata.[11]
Research -Kirino researches her books for approximately six months. For Out, she visited a pathology autopsy class at a university but was not able to view a real corpse. Instead, she interviewed a pathologist and took notes on the details of their operations, such as wearing goggles while dismembering a body due the flying shards of bone. “In terms of that dismemberment scene,” Kirino says, “I actually was thinking about cooking while I was writing. When I later heard a doctor say that the description of my novel wasn't far off from the way they do it, I was quite relieved.”[1] Regarding characters, none of hers are modeled after real people, and she stresses that her dark characters do not cast a negative light on her own personhood. Kirino also stated in an LA Weekly interview that '[While writing] Out, I wanted to understand the experience of [working] at a bento factory. An acquaintance of mine happened to know a person who worked at [one]. So for two nights, I worked the night shift. After that, I just had to escape.' [12]
