In conversation with Asako Yuzuki: Author of global phenomenon, Butter

DateTimeBSTHybrid

Join us for an unforgettable session with the Japanese author Asako Yuzuki, whose book "Butter" was the no 1 Sunday Times bestselling winner and named Waterstones Book of the Year in 2024.

This captivating Japanese cult classic tells the story of a renowned female chef, convicted as a serial killer of lonely businessmen, and a curious young journalist eager to uncover the gourmet secrets she holds. Inspired by the real-life case of "The Konkatsu Killer," Asako Yuzuki's Butter offers a vivid and unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive delights of food in Japan.
