Author: Kobo Abe

Abe is one of the most prolific writers of the mid-20th century. His masterful blend of the art of prose and the scientific thought procces create some of the richest novels ever written. When reading his work, it is very clear that Abe is not only a student of great Japanese literature but Western literature as well.

He carries to macacbre aspects of Poe in a way that takes the reader past the point of despair. Other sytlistic influences include Kafka and Shelley.
