About the Offering
LIVE via ZOOM: 6pm-7:30pm (Eastern Time)
The Woman in the Dunes by Kobo Abe sets up an impossible (or at least unlikely) conceit, then commits to it fully. Part speculative, part horror, part a study in psychological tension, part love story, Abe creates a world unlike any we know, that somehow lines up (metaphorically) with the world as it is.
