false<![CDATA[The Woman in the Dunes]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166112398m/9998.jpg999827This beautiful novel by one of Japan's most important writers is also one of the most strangely terrifying and memorable books you'll ever read. <i>The Woman in the Dunes</i> is the story of an amateur entomologist who wanders alone into a remote seaside village in pursuit of a rare beetle he wants to add to his collection. But the townspeople take him prisoner. They lower him into the sand-pit home of a young widow, a pariah in the poor community, who the villagers have condemned to a life of shoveling back the ever-encroaching dunes that threaten to bury the town.
