Winner of the Shincho Prize for New Writers and the prestigious Akutagawa Prize, Hiroko Oyamada is one of the most talented writers in Japanese literature today. Her imaginative writing combines the surreal and haunting style of Haruki Murakami with the satirical and antagonistic elegance of Franz Kafka.

The factory narrates the life of three workers (two men and one woman) in a large industrial complex that extends like a city. Each worker concentrates exclusively on the specific task assigned to him: reviewing documents, studying the moss that grows in the surroundings and shredding papers.
