Praise for The Woman in the Dunes:
"Devious, addictive.... Never less than compulsive.... Abe is an accomplished stylist..."--David Mitchell "Abe is the Japanese writer with the broadest international reputation."--The New York Times Book Review "Abe follows with meticulous precision his hero's constantly shifting physical, emotional and psychological states. He also presents...everyday existence in a sand pit with such compelling realism that these passages serve both to heighten the credibility of the bizarre plot and subtly increase the interior tensions of the novel."--The New York Times Book Review "Some of Kobo Abe's readers will recall Kafka's manipulation of a nightmarish tyranny of the unknown, others Beckett's selection of sites like the sand pit...as a symbol of the undignified human predicament."--Saturday Review
