The narrator is a scientist hideously deformed in a laboratory
accident - a man who has lost his face and, with it, connection to
other people. Even his wife is now repulsed by him. His only entry
back into the world is to create a mask so perfect as to be
undetectable. But soon he finds that such mask is more than a
disguise: it is an alternate self - a self that is capable of
anything. A remorseless meditation on nature, identity, and the
social contract, THE FACE OF ANOTHER is an intellectual horror
story of the highest order.
