Beasts Head for Home: A Novel | Abe Kobo
1 post | 1 read
Following his nation’s defeat in the Pacific War, Kuki Kyuzo, a Japanese youth, struggles to return home to Japan from Manchuria. What follows is a wild journey involving drugs, smuggling, chases, and capture. Kyuzo finally makes his way back to Japan but finds himself unable to disembark. His nation remains inaccessible to him, and now he questions its very existence. Beasts Head for Home is an acute novel of identity, belonging, and the vagaries of human behavior from an exceptional Japanese modern author.

I like to grab totally random books from the library and dive in, sight unseen. This is one of those books. And I must say, I have stumbled upon a gem! Nothing like an outdoor survival story to make you feel comfy reading in bed.
