The Woman in the Dunes The Woman in the Dunes , which, like Camus' The Stranger, In The Woman in the Dunes The Ark Sakura The Face of Another The Face of Another (1966) is both a psychological study and an existential allegory. The protagonist is again a scientist, "the section head of a respectable laboratory," whose face has been disfigured in a chemical explosion. This disfigurement creates a rift between the scientist and everyone he encounters particularly his wife. The source of this rift is due less to others' repulsion at his face than to the scientist's self-disgust

In middle school his strongest subject was mathematics, but he was also interested in collecting insects and had begun to immerse himself in the writings of Fyodor Dostoyevsky Franz Kafka Rainer Maria Rilke Edgar Allan Poe , and Lewis Carroll . Abe went to Japan in 1941 to attend high school. In 1943 he began studying medicine at the Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo), but he returned to Manchuria in 1945 without obtaining a degree. Repatriated to Japan in 1946, he was graduated in medicine in 1948 on condition that he never practice. By this time, however, he was deeply involved in literary activity. He published in 1947 at his own expense

Abe Kobo My novelist for August, in this series of 20th-century Japanese novelists, is Abe Kobo (1924-93), who is as different from the authors I've already introduced as he can be, but he has belonged to the set of the "big five" for me ever since I first met them in reading the five novels assigned in the course in Modern Japanese Literature I took from Father William Currie at Tokyo's Sophia University in the summer of 1973, when I read Soseki's Kokoro , Tanizaki's Some Prefer Nettles , Kawabata's Snow Country , Mishima's Temple of the Golden Pavillion , and Abe Kobo's The Woman in the Dunes . For years I had a flyer (from Berkeley Press, I think) that I passed around in classes that showed that each of those five Japanese authors (and no others) had at least five novels translated into Englishall available in paperback from that press. A good friend in Topeka, Dr. Tetsuro Takahashi (whom I'll feature later as a Kansas author in his own right, with a book for sale), also pointed out to me that all five of these authors, over the generations, had graduated, as he had, from Tokyo University. But, working chronologically, we came to Abe Kobo last, of course, and discovered that he was different from those other four novelists in four important respects. First, he was still alive in 1973 (three of the others might well have been, having died within the previous eight years, two by suicide) and was very active in avant-garde theatre right there in Tokyo that very summer (though, I'm sorry to say, I did not know enough to seek him out at the time, but did finally meet both Abe and his wife at a reception in St. Louis after a production of the play

Science Fiction Studies #88 = Volume 29, Part 3 = November 2002 Abe K�b� Two Essays on Science Fiction Introduced by Christopher Bolton Abe K�b� (1924-1993) was one of Japan�s leading avant-garde writers of the postwar period, and he is frequently credited with helping to establish prose science fiction as a viable genre in Japan. But arguably this is not a result Abe himself wanted. As these essays show, Abe vigorously championed the cause of science fiction, but he was wary about setting sf up as separate genre with its own definable rules, urging instead that it be seen as a flexible branch of avant-garde literature and judged on the same terms. In this role, Abe K�b� represents a theoretical and historical bridge between prewar proto-sf and later science fiction mainstays such as Komatsu Saky� (1931-). Abe debuted after the war with a brand of fantastic but philosophical fiction that might be characterized as surreal or grotesque. (In a number of his stories, for example, the protagonists� bodies inexplicably dissolve, unravel, or metamorphose into inanimate objects.) But Abe, who was originally trained as a doctor, also focuses on scientific elements or principles that sometimes strike an uneasy balance with the more fantastic ones. Abe�s work in the 1950s included short stories about robots, suspended animation, and alien visitation, but it was the 1959 publication of his novel

Review Summaries Source Rating Date Reviewer The Atlantic Monthly Phoebe Adams The NY Times Book Rev. Thomas Lask - Return to top of the page - The complete review 's Review The narrator of The Face of Another records his story in a series of notebooks. A scientist, he has keloid scars covering his entire face as the result of a terrible laboratory accident, an explosion of liquid oxygen. His loss of face which is what it essentially amounts to has become defining. He now walks around with his face entirely bandaged. And his relationship with his wife has suffered because of his disfigurement as well. With no hope of a medical cure, he decides to make a mask one so life-like that it is indistinguishable from a real face. He's almost the typical mad scientist in his obsession once he starts on the project, working in a small apartment he rents. His colleagues criticise him as "more of a technician than a scientist", but that serves him well here. He works intently for months, relating the technical difficulties the undertaking poses, as well as the choices that have to be made including that of choosing the visage he wants to present to the outside world.
