Real World

A stunning new work of the feminist noir that Natsuo Kirino defined and made her own in her novels Out and Grotesque.

In a crowded residential suburb on the outskirts of Tokyo, four teenage girls indifferently wade their way through a hot, smoggy summer and endless â€œcram schoolâ€ sessions meant to ensure entry into good colleges. Thereâ€™s Toshi, the dependable one; Terauchi, the great student; Yuzan, the sad one, grieving over the death of her motherâ€”and trying to hide her sexual orientation from her friends; and Kirarin, the sweet one, whose late nights and reckless behavior remain a secret from those around her. When Toshiâ€™s next-door neighbor is found brutally murdered, the girls suspect the killer is the neighborâ€™s son, a high school boy they nickname Worm. But when he flees, taking Toshiâ€™s bike and cell phone with him, the four girls get caught up in a tempest of dangersâ€”dangers they never could have even imaginedâ€”that rises from within them as well as from the world around them.

Psychologically intricate and astute, dark and unflinching, Real World is a searing, eye-opening portrait of teenage life in Japan unlike any we have seen before.
