The Other Man is the story of a writer who shuts
himself away in a small room to write a book. One
day his pen disappears from the table, but this is only
the start of the strange things which happen to him.
He sees a man in the mirror with a beard – and he is
clean-shaven. When the man appears to him at
night, he decides it is time to leave the room ... but he
has left it too late. The man with the beard has taken
over his life, and he has become invisible, unable to
move or speak. Even the writer’s friend believes that
nothing strange has happened. The writer has grown
a beard, that’s all.
