The Face of Another by Kobo Abe

TITLE: The Face of Another
AUTHOR: Kobo Abe
READ: July
THOUGHTS: I was very interested in this book; felt that the discussion re: appearance/'the visual' as a problem of metaphysical conceit was very interesting/disquieting, but this book plodded. Incredibly slow and boring. I stopped reading about 100 pages in when I realized that picking up this book to read another 15 pages required titan effort. Probably one of the only books I have not finished after starting.
