I love the archeology parts. In another life, I planned on being Indiana Jones and I actually did take quite a few classes in college to become a Biblical archeologist, but then I loved literature and writing so much that my path went another way. But I love books with archeology in them and Maine’s knowledge and attention to detail shines in this book. I love the legend and oral tradition aspects of this story and how that played out in multiple ways in this book. As dark and brooding as Kafka, but pure, simple, yet beguilingly complex, this novel rewards those who seek to dwell in the liminal spaces between reality and dream. The burden of understanding ourselves is an illustration of perpetual motion. Humanity's protean heart is contained in us all, vaguely buried beneath layers of propriety, comfort and self-denial. If all the world were sand, if it was all we knew, how would our minds conform to the contours of our flat horizon? Would the solitary figures of other minds, blasted smooth and coppery, sink into our anima? Saslow, Rachel (July 11, 2011).

Retrieved 17 October 2015.Kobo Abe, however, seems to have left this self-exploration and moved to a distinctly post-modern, at least post WWII feel. It is strange how writers can reflect the psychology of a country, the whole often un-specified in dialogue, or else restricted to a political frame. The man now wants to leave the village and return to his usual activities. He's a teacher, an insect collector, and has recently met a woman with whom he has sexual relations. But there's no ladder, and neither the woman nor the villagers seem eager to offer him one. All routes of escape seem cut off: without a ladder he cannot get out of the enormous sand hole in which the house is buried, and without hard work to shovel out the sand, the situation will soon become precarious. Will the man manage to find a way out? Will he escape the villagers who now seem keener than ever to keep him in the village? And, most important of all, will he hold on to his will to escape once a few attempts have failed?

The Woman in the Dunes, by celebrated writer and thinker Kobo Abe, combines the essence of myth, suspense and the existential novel. Halber, Deborah (2015).

The most interesting aspect was that Libby was the current generation of the women involved, and there were many secrets kept by them all.

Kitaba adını veren kumların kadını bütün dünyevi ve modernizmin doğurduğu istek ve arzulardan öte, yeme, içme, barınma, aitlik ve bulursa seks düzleminde ömrünü kumların köyü işgal etmemesi üzerine kurmuş, başka da bir tahayyülü olmayan öznelik kategorisinden düşürülmüş bireyi simgelemektedir. Her akşam sisifos azmiyle kumları küremektedir, ertesi akşam kumları küreyeceği bilgisiyle. Bu tekrarlanan rutine ceza gözüyle bakacak okur kendi gündelik rutini ile tekrarladıklarına bakarsa tehlikeli sorgulamalar girebilir aman dikkat diyelim. Kahramanımız bir gecelik sandığı misafirliğin ebediyete yelken açtığını fark ettiğinde her düşürülmüş birey gibi çıkış yolu aramaya başlar, önce kısa bir atar ( vergisini veren, kimlik ve ehliyet kartı olan, düzenli işe giden birinin böyle kolay düşeceğini nasıl düşünürsünüz) ardından plan aşaması gelir. Kuyuda kadın ile geçen bu bölüm kadın erkek ilişkilerine ve cinselliğe dair çok yetkin bir anlatı barındıyor ve eserin ikinci temel ayağını oluşturuyor, hatta kapsadığı alan itibari ve derinliğiyle diğer dertleri yer yer gölgede bırakıyor. The film was also featured in several other film festivals across the world such as the Cannes Film Festival in France, Adelaide Film Festival in Australia, and Clasicos del Cine Japones in Argentina on November 21, 2000. I read this, second year at Durham, so 86/87, was in rebellion against Geography books. Probably attracted by the naked woman torso on the cover, however, the writing is sensual and erotic. It's only years later do I discover that Japan is possibly one of the most prolific in terms of sexual, and sensual i.e. as in good - Nobel good, not trashy sexy. To effectuate some meaningfulness to his situation, whether for the choice to stay or freedom of escape, the protagonist heroically attempts to alter his circumstance, significantly going through a metamorphosis of his own, but like the true kinetic nature of sand, its waves of ebbs and flows, his fate lays ambiguous. Her books are always so atmospheric and have this kind of dark romantic prose so I figured it would be an exciting vacation read.
