Description
The English-language debut of one of Japan's most exciting new writers, The Factory follows three workers at a sprawling industrial factory.
Each worker focuses intently on the specific task they've been assigned: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds.
But their lives slowly become governed by their work-days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin?
What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while-it could be weeks or years-the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: What am I doing here?With hints of Kafka and unexpected moments of creeping humor, The Factory casts a vivid-and sometimes surreal-portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.
