Description:  116 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In an unnamed Japanese city, three seemingly normal and unrelated characters find work at a sprawling industrial factory. They each focus intently on their specific jobs: one studies moss, one shreds paper, and the other proofreads incomprehensible documents. Life in the factory has its own logic and momentum, and, eventually, the factory slowly expands and begins to take over everything, enveloping these poor workers. The very margins of reality seem to be dissolving: all forms of life capriciously evolve, strange creatures begin to appear. After a while, it could be weeks or years, the workers don't even have the ability to ask themselves: where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? Told in three alternating first-person narratives, The Factory casts a vivid--if sometimes surreal--portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of modern life. With hints of Kafka and unexpected moments of creeping humor, Hiroko Oyamada is one of the boldest writers of her generation.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Oyamada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
