Un incantatore dall'inizio alla fine, un capolavoro audace' Chicago Sun Times 'Questo è il disco di un uomo scatola'. Anonimo e solo, l'uomo scatola sbircia dai suoi buchi per gli occhi ritagliati e osserva il mondo da dietro le sue quattro pareti di cartone. Inizialmente disgustato dallo strano fenomeno delle persone che hanno deciso di abbandonare la società e vivere in scatole nelle strade di Tokyo, si è ritrovato trascinato nell'anonimato e nel voyeurismo della loro vita. Mentre diventa ossessionato dallo spiare una giovane infermiera, la sua identità scivola via, nel capolavoro inquietante, disorientante e seducente di disagio di Kobo Abe. 'Divertente, triste e distruttivo. Un'invenzione con una sua folle attrazione, rode il lettore. Una sorprendente aggiunta alla letteratura dell'eccentricità' The New York Times.

Kobo Abe was born in Tokyo in 1924, grew up in Manchuria, and returned to Japan in his early twenties. Before his death in 1993, Abe was considered his country's foremost living novelist.

'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.
