Get more information about this book Plot Summary of The Woman in the Dunes "A big-city schoolteacher on a trip to the dunes of Japan's Southwest to collect insects is taken in by a village and given room at a young widow's place, which is located in a huge pit in the local desert. The next day, he discovers the truth behind the villagers' kindness: he's been taken captive to help the woman in the shoveling and collection of sand to sell to industries as well as prevent landslides. Angry at this, he attempts several ways to escape the pit, but each time the wicked villagers thwart him. Resigned to living with the widow, he falls for her - although he cannot help but wonder if her lonely, boring lifestyle is forced or willingly accepted... Will he devise a better means of escape? Or will he stay with her and provide her help - and companionship - for life? Either way, what would the meaning in all this be for his life? This book is short in plot and to the point (of course, there isn't much else to do with such a setting), but each scene inspires us to think about how differences in people are sometimes repressed by society, and the way some will go to keep the status quo. This book was also made into a successful movie."

78. Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Ark Sakura, The (Kobo Abe) In between abe treats us to a discussion on what to do with a dismembered body (which we never see) and a series of increasingly uncomfortable descriptions http://www.scwu.com/bookreviews/h/AbeKoboArkSakuraThe.shtml

Steven Wu's Book Reviews Author Title Rating ... Latest Ark Sakura, The by Kobo Abe A book review by Steven Wu http://www.scwu.com/bookreviews/ January 26, 2002 Rating: 2 (of 10) In its intimate portrayal of an unusual protagonist, The Ark Sakura most resembles Iain Banks 's The Wasp Factory . But in the actual events of the storyline Abe's book clearly falls into the literary subgenre known as absurdism. Take, for instance, the episode with the dead body that preoccupies the last quarter of the book. The episode begins with Molethe hermit-like protagonistgetting his foot stuck in a high-pressured toilet; it ends with an explosion, a flood, and a brigade of old men lusting over lost junior high school girls. In between Abe treats us to a discussion on what to do with a dismembered body (which we never see) and a series of increasingly uncomfortable descriptions of the pain that Mole feels in his trapped leg. If this sounds like fun to you, then by all means pick up The Ark Sakura and read it. But if you're less than impressed by such happenings, avoid The Ark Sakura In a way, the style and narrative of
