Description: The Frontier Within by Kōbō Abe, Richard Calichman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Abe Kobo (1924–1993) was one of Japans greatest postwar writers, widely recognized for his imaginative science fiction and plays of the absurd. However, he also wrote theoretical criticism for which he is lesser known, merging literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives into keen reflections on the nature of creativity, the evolution of the human species, and an impressive range of other subjects. Abe Kobo tackled contemporary social issues and literary theory with the depth and facility of a visionary thinker. Featuring twelve essays from his prolific career-including "Poetry and Poets (Consciousness and the Unconscious)," written in 1944, and "The Frontier Within, Part II," written in 1969-this anthology introduces English-speaking readers to Abe Kobo as critic and intellectual for the first time. Demonstrating the importance of his theoretical work to a broader understanding of his fiction-and a richer portrait of Japans postwar imagination-Richard F. Calichman provides an incisive introduction to Abe Kobos achievements and situates his essays historically and intellectually. Author Biography Richard F. Calichman is professor of Japanese studies at the City College of New York, CUNY. His Columbia University Press books include Overcoming Modernity: Cultural Identity in Wartime Japan (2008); Contemporary Japanese Thought (2005); and What is Modernity? Writings of Takeuchi Yoshimi (2005).
