A Weird & Sexy Kidnapping | The Woman In The Dunes (Kobo Abe) BOOK REVIEW

from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

Mr. Sandman, bring me some freedom.'The Woman In The Dunes' by Kobo Abe is a rather simple story of a Japanese man who becomes trapped in the sand dunes. He is led into a large hole where a woman lives and is forced to help her keep sand from encroaching onto the nearby village. We witness his escape attempts and gradual process of getting accustomed to his new environment. It's told from his POV with snippets of external newspaper clippings.Huge thanks to BitpunkFM for supporting the podcast.
