Finished my third book of the year and am now curious to watch the film adaptation. Watched Abe’s “The Face of Another” last fall and enjoyed it thoroughly, but rather than hunt down a copy of the book I opted to borrow this from my partner’s bookshelf instead. #KoboAbe #TheWomanInTheDunes #booksky

The Box Man by Kobo Abe

Surreal, confusing, funny. Men live inside boxes and wander Tokyo.

A black-and-white image from the 1966 Japanese film The Face of Another directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. It depicts a man wearing a tightly wrapped bandage mask with holes for the eyes, symbolizing themes of identity and alienation. Overlaying patterns of dashed lines add a sense of distortion and psychological tension, characteristic of the film's avant-garde style. Have a great day! <3

The Face of Another (1966)

"There are monsters who act like people and people who act like monsters. Even monsters have their pleasures."
