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.
