Asako Yuzuki, famous for thrillers like Butter, pivots to children's literature with her new book, "Mari the Unwonderful Witch."
After making a splash on the international literary scene with the translations of her psychological feminist thrillers — “Butter” and “Hooked” — Asako Yuzuki has unexpectedly pivoted to children’s literature. The only cozy things about it are the charming illustrations by Yukako Sakaguchi and the cute cover by Yuuki Jia. And we all know the old adage about covers and judging them.
Mari the Unwonderful Witch, by Asako Yuzuki. Translated by Ecre Karadag. 224 pages.
