New York. 1988. March 1988. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394558367. Translated from the Japanese by Juliet Winters Carpenter. 341 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph & design by Dan Lloyd taylor. keywords: Literature Translated Japan Asia. FROM THE PUBLISHER-A novel about the lives of outcasts in modern Japan which addresses such themes as ecological destruction, old age, violence and nuclear war. From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY-Abe's first novel in eight years, an allegorical fantasy at once Kafkaesque, funny and apocalpytic dazzles even when it may confuse. The principal character, nicknamed Mole, has converted a huge underground quarry into an ark capable of surviving the coming nuclear holocaust and is now in search of his 'crew. ' He falls victim, however, to the wiles of his first crew members, a con man-cum-insect dealer and his two shills, one of them a pretty young woman. In the surreal drama that ensues, the ark is invaded by a gang of youths and a sinister group of elderly people called the Broom Brigade, led by Mole's odious father, while Mole gets his leg trapped in the ark's central piece of equipment, a giant toilet powerful enough to flush almost anything, including chopped-up humans, out to sea. Kobo Abe (THE WOMAN IN THE DUNES, THE BOX MAN), generally considered Japan's leading novelist, is a literary magician with a very special bag of tricks. Among them is a deadpan matter-of-factness that gives his chilling vision of human destiny much of its impact. inventory #9787.
