Japanese Literature Book Club - Beasts Head For Home
January 10, 10:15 am
da Shop
Come talk story with like minded Japanese lit enthusiasts over this month's book club selection, Beasts Head For Home by author Kōbō Abe.
In a time when the world is increasingly faced with an obsession with borders and anxieties regarding what is called the "refugee crisis," this timely new translation of Kobo Abe's novel provides a necessary coming to terms with the experience of the ravages of war on the displaced. . . . Abe exposes the very fluidity with which our sense of belongingness, even ownership, must continually be tested and reckoned with.
