Kobo Abe's existential and entertaining masterpiece'This is the record of a box man'The streets of Tokyo have been seeing a strange phenomenon recently - people who have decided to live their lives in a box on the street. Behind their cut-out eyeholes, they sit and watch from behind their four cardboard walls.
