The Face of Another by Kōbō Abe

3.0

This will not go down as one of my favourite reads as it was, to be honest, very hard going. This is in part a stylistic thing (in that it's a very introspective piece) and that I couldn't really relate to the main protagonist.
That said there were a number of interesting elements to the story not the least of which is the question of what defines personality and therefore behaviour.
Not as good as The Woman in the Dunes but then few books are.
