Details: Set in rural Japan shortly after world War II, the frolic of the beasts tells the story of a strange and utterly absorbing love triangle between a former University student, koji; his would-be mentor, the eminent literary critic ippei kusakado; and ippei's beautiful, enigmatic wife, Yuko. When brought face-to-face with one of ippei's many marital indiscretions, koji finds his growing desire for Yuko compels him to action in a way that changes all three of their lives profoundly. Originally published in 1961 and now available in English for the first time, the frolic of the beasts is a haunting examination of the various guises we assume throughout our lives and a tale of psychological self-entrapment, seduction and violence.
