书籍简介

“引人入胜、令人愉悦的怪异、常常令人感到不舒服”潘多拉·赛克斯

“令人爱不释手、令人惊叹的原创”艾琳·凯利

“我一直沉迷于柚木麻子的新小说《黄油》”奈杰尔·斯莱特

“全脂米其林星级美食”泰晤士报

这部日本畅销书讲述了一位女性美食厨师兼连环杀手以及一位决心破获她案件的记者的故事，灵感来自一个真实的故事。

有两件事我根本无法容忍：女权主义者和人造黄油。

美食厨师梶井真奈子被关押在东京拘留中心，因连环谋杀孤独的商人而被定罪，据说她用美味的家常菜勾引了这些商人。这个案件引起了全国人民的关注，但梶井拒绝接受媒体采访，不接待任何访客。直到记者 Rika Machida 写信询问她的炖牛肉食谱，Kajii 忍不住回信。

Rika 是新闻办公室里为不多的女性，每天晚上工作到很晚，除了拉面之外，很少做饭。随着她和冷酷的 Kajii 之间的交流，她们更像是美食大师班，而不是新闻研究。Rika 希望这种美食交流能帮助她软化 Kajii，但似乎她自己才是改变的人。她吃的每一顿饭，她的身体里都有某种东西在觉醒，她和 Kaji 的共同点是否比她曾经想象的还要多？

Asako Yuzuki 的《黄油》受到被定罪的连环杀手“Konkatsu Killer”的真实案件的启发，生动、令人不安地探索了日本的厌女症、痴迷、浪漫和食物的越轨乐趣。

‘A full-fat, Michelin-starred treat’THE TIMES

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 can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine.

Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who 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 masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought?

Inspired by the real case of the 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.
