'One of Japan's most venerated writers' David Mitchell In this
unnerving fable from one of Japan's greatest novelists, a recluse
known as 'Mole' retreats to a vast underground bunker, only to find
that strange guests, booby traps and a giant toilet may prove even
greater obstacles than nuclear disaster. 'As is true of Poe and
Kafka, Abe creates an unexpected impulsion. One continues reading,
on and on' New Yorker 'Abe's depiction of the deadly game of
survival is hilarious but at the same time leaves us with a
chilling sense of apprehension about the brave new world that
awaits us' Los Angeles Times
