Face of Another - Kōbō Abe
Tax included.
'The Face of Another' by Kōbō Abe (Penguin Modern Classics 256-page paperback)
The novel that inspired Hiroshi Teshigahara's (Woman in the Dunes) acclaimed 1966 film of the same name.
A haunting parable of alienation and identity, following a scientist who fashions a lifelike mask to replace his disfigured face - only to discover the monstrous freedom anonymity affords.
