One of the premier Japanese novels in the twentieth century, Kōbō Abe’s The Woman In The Dunes combines the essence of myth, suspense, and the existential novel.
In a remote seaside village, Niki Jumpei, a teacher and amateur entomologist, is held captive with a young woman at the bottom of a vast sand pit where they are pressed into shovelling off the ever-advancing sand dunes that threaten the village.
The 1964 Japanese New Wave film of the novel, directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara was nominated for two Academy Awards.
