This month on the ark audio book club, we discussed the mid-20th Century, Japanese surreal folk horror novel, "The Woman in the Dunes" by Kobo Abe. It is the story of an amateur entomologist, who is tricked by some villagers into becoming their prisoner in a giant sandpit where he must shovel sand with the eponymous woman. On the podcast this month are Macon Holt, Josephine Leviné, Emma Aggersbo, and your host is Carlie Cassarino.
