'A spellbinder from beginning to end, an edgy masterpiece' Chicago
Sun Times 'This is the record of a box man'. Anonymous and alone,
the box man peeps out of his cut-out eyeholes and watches the world
from behind his four cardboard walls. At first repulsed by the
strange phenomenon of people who have decided to abandon society
and live in boxes on the Tokyo streets, he has found himself drawn
into the anonymity and voyeurism of their life. As he becomes
obsessed with spying on a young nurse, his identity slips away, in
Kobo Abe's eerie, disorienting and seductive masterpiece of unease.
'Funny, sad and destructive ... an invention with its own crazy
pull, it gnaws at the reader ... a stunning addition to the
literature of eccentricity' The New York Times
