  From his forays into science fiction to his psychological novels and films, Abe Kobo weaves together a range of 'voices': the styles of science and the language of literary forms. This book argues that the crisis of identity and postwar anomie in Abe's works is inseparable from the need to marshal these different scientific and literary voices.
