Great seller. As for the book itself, I bought it after Kojima recommended the author. It is every bit as strange as I was hoping.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Inventive, intriquing, ambiguous reading
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2000*

Kangaroo Notebook is the last book written by Kobo Abe; in many ways, it  is a reflection on the approach of death, on being an outsider, and,  perhaps, on outsider as a kind of death.  "Perhaps" because this  book is written in a very ambiguous style that allows, even encourages,  readers to find different interrelationships between the parts.The  narrator begins the story at his suggestion in his workplace being selected  as the best - his suggestion, originally a joke, was a product, a kangaroo  notebook.  This leads to the proposition that marsupials are outcasts - the  mammal version of each species being more viable than the marsupial  counterpart. Within this context, the narrator notes that his shins are  sprouting radishes.Seeking treatment at a dermatologist is the beginning  of a series of occurrences - real, dream, illusion, post-anesthetia  confusion?  This are absolutely delightful, humorous events - a bed  traveling in the city through the narrator's mental efforts, of a  hell-based sulfur springs treatment, of child demons, of dead mothers in  cabbage fields, of an American graduate student studying fatal accidents,  of euthansia ...This astounding romp is a serious consideration of  death, our beliefs regarding death (the limbo children) and of  suicide/murder/euthansia/accident.
