The English-language debut of one of Japan's most exciting new
writers, The Factory follows three workers at a sprawling
industrial factory. Each worker focuses intently on the specific
task they've been assigned: one shreds paper, one proofreads
documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the
expansive grounds. But their lives slowly become governed by their
work-days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by
little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does
the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on
with the strange animals here? And after a while-it could be weeks
or years-the three workers struggle to answer the most basic
question: What am I doing here? With hints of Kafka and unexpected
moments of creeping humor, The Factory casts a vivid-and sometimes
surreal-portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern
workplace.
