My Take
Megan Abbott genuinely impresses me. A Detroit native and University of Michigan graduate, she took the male-dominated world of hardboiled crime fiction and rewrote it from a woman's point of view, earning an Edgar Award in 2006. In books like Dare Me, The Fever, and The Turnout she turns the claustrophobic worlds of cheerleaders and ballet dancers into taut thrillers, refusing to look away from the cruelty and desire beneath their pretty surfaces. I admire the nerve it takes to plant your flag in territory long claimed by men. She's the kind of writer I wish far more Japanese readers would discover.
