A GREAT GROUP READS Selection "Where Anthony Burgess sought to conjure a world of abstract flair and inexplicable cruelty in "A Clockwork Orange," Yi strikes a far deeper chord, delving into the mind of a youth whose lethal motivations are abundantly and undeniably troubling." "World Literature Today" On a normal day in provincial China, a teenager goes about his regular business, but he s also planning the brutal murder of his only friend. He lures her over, strangles her, stuffs her body into the washing machine and flees town, whereupon a perilous game of cat-and-mouse begins. A shocking investigation into the despair that traps the rural poor as well as a technically brilliant excursion into the claustrophobic realm of classic horror and suspense, "A Perfect Crime" is a thrilling and stylish novel about a motiveless murder that echoes Kafka s absurdism, Camus nihilism and Dostoyevsky s depravity."
