Japanese writer Kōbō Abe's 1974 novel. The streets of Tokyo have been seeing a strange phenomenon recently - people who have decided to live their lives in a box on the street.

Behind their cut-out eyeholes, they sit and watch from behind their four cardboard walls. Our nameless narrator, at first repulsed by the box men, slowly becomes drawn in to the anonymity and voyeuristic life inside a box. As his identity slowly slips away and he becomes obsessed with watching an intriguing young nurse, we too become privy to the schizophrenic and seductive unreality of a box man's life.

I was sent an old used book instead of a new book that I ordered
Format: Paperback
I ordered a new full-price book but instead got a plastic ripped open book with an online access code missing on the inside. I could not return or ask for a replacement because of homework deadlines.

Basic, Profound, and Thorough
Format: Paperback
I'm a deliverance minister and walk people through forgiveness exercises on a regular basis because of the spiritual freedom that comes with forgiveness. This book is basic but very thorough and covers all the high-level points on the importance of forgiveness without getting into the weeds. Book is thin; not overwhelming to non-readers.
