A surreal work of apocalyptic science fiction. 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. A science-fiction classic from acclaimed Japanese novelist Kobo Abe, this book's Kafkaesque embrace of nuclear disaster and ecological catastrophe is at turns both hilarious and desperate. Translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter.
