[and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E.A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes.

Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon is approached by a cabaret singer, whose beautiful appearance belies the grotesque condition of her heart. And while the surgeon's jealous lover vows to kill him, a violent envy also stirs in the soul of a lonely craftsman. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon's neighbor---who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders---their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYoko Ogawa's \u003ci\u003eRevenge\u003c\/i\u003e is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the last page. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn NPR Best Book of 2013\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Revenge: Eleven Dark Tales | Yoko Ogawa | Paperback | 9780312674465 | New | Fiction 1580380","offer_id":50619660992770,"sku":"1580380","price":46.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91CrTH5ngNL.jpg?v=1791187675","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/revenge-eleven-dark-tales","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
