Book cover for Three Japanese Short Stories
No, nothing in this world is as oppressive and debilitating as blood ties. Any other relationship – be it with friend, lover, wife; be it obligatory or constraining or difficult – is something one has consciously entered into at some point. ...more

Kōbō Abe
“He was angry at the things that bound the woman … and at the woman who let herself be bound.”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Mary MacLane
“When I was very little, it was cold and dreary also, but I was certain it would be different when I should grow and be ten years old. It must be very nice to be ten, I thought, - and one would not be nearly so lonesome. But when the years passed and I was ten it was just exactly as lonesome. And
when I was ten everything was very hard to understand.
But it will surely be different when I am seventeen, I said, - I will know so much when I am seventeen. But when I was seventeen it was even more lonely; and everything was still harder to understand.
And again I said - faintly - everything will become clearer in a few years more, and I will wonder to think how stupid I have always been. But now the few years more have gone and here I am in loneliness that is more hopeless and harder to bear than when I was very little. Still, I wonder indeed
to think how stupid I have been - and now I am not so stupid. I do not tell myself that it will be different when I am five-and-twenty.
For I know that it will not be different.
I know that it will be the same dreariness, the same Nothingness, the same loneliness.”
Mary MacLane, I Await the Devil's Coming

Mary MacLane
“And always while I am still young, there is that dim light, the Future. But it is indeed a dim, dim light, and ofttimes there’s a treachery in it.”
Mary MacLane, I Await the Devil's Coming

Kōbō Abe
“Only a shipwrecked person who has just escaped drowning could understand the psychology of someone who breaks out in laughter just because he is able to breathe”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Mary MacLane
“Had I been born a man I would by now have made a deep impression of myself on the world - on some part of it. But I am a woman, and God, or the Devil, or Fate, or whosoever it was, has flayed me of the thick outer skin and thrown me out into the midst of Life - has left me a lonely damned thing filled with the red, red blood of ambition and desire, but afraid to be touched, for there is no thick skin between my sensitive flesh and the and world s fingers.
But I want to be touched.”
Mary MacLane, I Await the Devil's Coming
