Boter
Chef-kok Manako Kajii zit vast voor moord op eenzame mannen die ze naar verluidt verleidde met haar kookkunsten. Ze weigert contact met de buitenwereld, tot journaliste Rika Machida haar schrijft om een recept. Kajii antwoordt, en zo begint een reeks ontmoetingen waarin eten centraal staat. Terwijl Rika hoopt Kajii te doorgronden, raakt ze steeds meer in de ban van haar – en van koken. Hun gesprekken onthullen diepe thema’s als vrouwenhaat, verlangen en identiteit. Boter van Asako Yuzuki is een intrigerende roman, geïnspireerd op een waargebeurde zaak, waarin culinaire passie, maatschappijkritiek en bloeddorstige acties samenkomen. ‘Een thriller met feministische, maatschappelijke beschouwingen, vermengd met recepten die in een kookboek niet zouden misstaan.’ – NRC ***** ‘Wat Boter zo briljant maakt, is dat het individuele eetgewoontes neerzet als een mysterie dat opgelost moet worden.’ – The Guardian

Butter
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer, and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story There are two things that I simply cannot tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in the Tokyo Detention House convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, whom she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination, but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew, and Kajii can’t resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a master class in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii, but it seems that Rika might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body. Do she and Kajii have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of a convicted con woman and serial killer—the “Konkatsu Killer”—Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

Butter
Der Überraschungserfolg aus Japan: Ein universeller Roman über Genuss, Lebenskunst und die Geschichte einer weiblichen Befreiung Für alle LeserInnen von Han Kangs »Vegetarierin«, Sayaka Muratas »Ladenhüterin« und Mieko Kawakamis »Brüste und Eier« Rika, eine junge Journalistin in Tokio, recherchiert über die Serienmöderin Manako Kajii, die Männer mit ihren Kochkünsten verführt und anschließend umgebracht haben soll. Manako behauptet, sie verabscheut nichts mehr als "Margarine und Feministinnen" und hat eine ausgeprägte Leidenschaft für hemmungslosen Genuss und insbesondere Butter. Jetzt, wo sie im Gefängnis sitzt, empfängt sie Rika, unter der Bedingung, nur über ihre Kochkünste zu reden. Für Rika werden die Begegnungen mit Manako zu einer Meisterklasse der Lebenskunst. Ein Roman, der Genuss, Essen und Trinken feiert, vor allem aber die unmöglichen Erwartungen thematisiert, die an Frauen in patriarchalen Gesellschaften heute gestellt werden. »Eine geheimnisvoll schmeckende Mischung, die viel Gedankenfutter bietet.« Brigitte »So frisch und bildlich erzählt.« stern »Ein toller Roman über Genuss und weibliche Selbstbestimmung.« WDR
