‘One of Japan’s most venerated writers’ David MitchellIn 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
