“It’s not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book . . . [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. But this collection may linger in your mind―it does in mine―as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience.” ―Alan Cheuse, NPR Sinister forces collide―and unite a host of desperate characters―in this eerie cycle of interwoven tales from Yoko Ogawa, the critically acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor.

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.Yoko Ogawa’s Revenge is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the last page.
