The Woman In The Dunes” by Kobo Abe. After reading and getting interested in the book I found the VHS tape at the library. The book has been translated from the Japanese and the movie is in Japanese with English sub titles. The technique is to read and watch the movie, but not let the movie get further with the plot that you have already read. You get more from the reading and more from the movie.
Novels let you know what people have in their mind and what they think about. Their isn’t another way of knowing what is thinking, even then it is only fiction.
Two thoughts from the book.
Joan and Carl are teacher so this is primarily for them.
Year after year students tumble along like the water of a river. They flow away and their teacher is left behind, like some deeply buried rock to the bottom of the current.
This for the most all of us.
It is recognized that no man can get along without some sort of plaything, and if he as satisfied with that one, it suited the wife.
