Descripción
Beyond the town, there is the factory. Beyond the factory, there is nothing.
Within the sprawling industrial complex, three employees are assigned to different departments. There, each must focus on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives 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 Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, The Factory is a vivid, and sometimes surreal, portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.

Al marido de Asa le han ofrecido un trabajo en una zona remota de Japón, junto al hogar en que nació. Durante un verano excepcionalmente cálido, la pareja se instala junto a la casa de los suegros, entre el ensordecedor e invasivo rugido de las cigarras. Hasta que un día Asa se topa con una extraña criatura, que no se parece a nada. La sigue hasta el terraplén de un río y cae en un agujero que parece haber sido creado para ella, y en el que queda atrapada para siempre. Casas asoladas por plagas de comadrejas. Niños fantasma. Pasillos que nos transportan «al otro lado», como si Alicia reviviera en el Japón de la tecnología punta. Oyamada firma un tríptico narrativo literariamente puro sobre la idea de que el entorno que nos rodea puede anticipar nuestras emociones y hasta nuestro destino.

Tres sorprendentes historias en las que la autora ahonda en la incertidumbre y lo absurdo de nuestras vidas, con una narrativa insólita y rebosante de imaginación. Originalísima y con aires de Kafka, Murakami yMurata. Sorprendente!

When Asa’s husband is offered a new job away from the city, the couple end up relocating. And since his new office is very close to his family’s home, it makes sense to move in next door to his parents.Through the long hot summer, Asa does her best to adjust to their new rural lives, to the constant presence of her in-laws, to the emptiness of her existence and the incessant buzz of cicadas. And then one day, while running an errand for her mother-in-law, she comes across a strange creature, follows it to the embankment of a river, and ends up falling into a hole – a hole that seems to have been made specifically for her.Thus begins a series of bizarre experiences that drive Asa deeper into the mysteries of this rural landscape and the family she has married in to, leading her to question her role in this world and, eventually, who she even is.
