Sayaka Murata has had to cancel her appearance at AWF.

Asako Yuzuki’s Butter was a cult bestseller in Japan and has stormed international charts. Following a female serial killer accused of seducing her victims with food, it’s a gripping exploration of misogyny, obsession and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

She joins Paula Morris to discuss her brilliantly subversive work, and what it captures about women’s experiences in Japan and beyond. Interpretation provided by Melanie Taylor.
