The Factory by Hiroko Oyamada is a surreal and quietly unsettling novel that follows three workers in a sprawling, enigmatic factory. One shreds paper, another edits documents, and the third studies moss. As their routines become increasingly mechanical and their sense of time and identity dissolves, the novel explores the dehumanizing effects of modern labor and corporate systems. Blending Kafkaesque absurdity with Japanese magical realism, Oyamada crafts a haunting allegory of alienation in the industrial age. The Persian translation by Maryam Nikpour captures the novel’s minimalist style and philosophical undertones, offering readers a glimpse into the eerie beauty of contemporary Japanese fiction.
