THE BOXMAN by Kobo Abe -In this eerie and evocative masterpiece, the nameless protagonist gives up his identity and the trappings of a normal life to live in a large cardboard box he wears over his head. Wandering the streets of Tokyo and scribbling madly on the interior walls of his box, he describes the world outside as he sees or perhaps imagines it. The Box Man is a marvel of sheer originality and a bizarrely fascinating fable about the very nature of identity.
