The Front List: Asako Yuzuki

The Front List: Asako Yuzuki

Join Asako Yuzuki as part of Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Since Butter appeared in print, bookshops have been scrambling to keep Asako Suzuki’s word-of-mouth sensation in stock.

About a serial killer chef who poisons her lovers deliciously, this strange, thrilling, incisive novel won Waterstones Book of the Year 2024.

Author of over 20 novels (though Butter is her first English translation), Yuzuki talks today about consumption, sexism, skewed beauty standards, and her mission to elevate the status of Japan’s women through powerful storytelling.
