Abe Kobo (1924-1993) was one of Japan's greatest postwar writers, widely recognized for his imaginative science fiction and plays of the absurd. He also wrote theoretical criticism, merging literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives into keen reflections on the nature of creativity, the evolution of the human species, and other subjects.
