Cultural Heritage Editorial Review
The Grotesque is a psychological thriller that explores the life of the narrator's sister, Yuriko, and her friends Kazue and Mitsuru. The plot involves death, Prostitution, and cults. The narrative is a mixture of journal entries and reflections from various characters. Some readers found the book well-written, thrilling, and engaging. While others found it slow, depressing, and difficult to connect with any of the characters. The book has a menacing atmosphere that makes it captivating but not for the faint-hearted.
