XX [From the inner flaps] From the author of The Woman in the Dunes and The Ruined Map (which John Leonard, writing in The New York Times, chose as one of the six best novels of 1969) comes the gripping and inventive INTER ICE AGE 4, perhaps Abé's most radical work. It is set in the next century, as the polar ice caps begin to melt, threatening to submerge the continents and destroy all terrestrial life. Secretly and illegally, a group of scientists has begun work on a scheme to force biological mutation on animals - and ultimately on the human fetus - to enable mammalian life to survive. The protagonist, Dr. Katsumi, a scientist who has created an information system so advanced that it can foretell human behavior, is drawn unwittingly into the conspiracy. As he gradually - risking his life - ferrets out the precise nature of the experiments in which his skills have been enlisted, he is forced to choose between his desire for the survival of the human race and his horror of the ruthless and manipulative means by which that end is to be attained. This philosophical choice is translated into a matter of desperate personal immediacy when he discovers that the conspiracy poses a direct threat to his wife and unborn child. In INTER ICE AGE 4 Abé employs the devices of science fiction to project his most profound moral concerns. XX Kobo Abé was born in Tokyo in 1924 but grew up in Mukden, Manchuria, where his father, a doctor, was on the staff of the medical school. As a young man Mr. Abé was interested in mathematics and insect-collecting, as well as the works of Poe, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Jaspers, and Kafka. He received a medical degree from Tokyo University in 1948, but he has never practiced medicine. In that same year he published his first book, The Road Sign at the End of the Street. In 1951 he was awarded the most important Japanese literary prize, the Akutagawa, for his novel The Crime of Mr. S. Karuma. In 1960 his novel The Woman in the Dunes won the Yomiuri Prize for literature. It was made into a film by Hiro Teshigahara in 1963 and won the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival. It was the first of Mr. Abé's novels to be published in translation in the United States, in 1964. The Face of Another (1966) was also made into a film by Mr. Teshigahara. Most recently, Abé's novel The Ruined Map was published here in 1969. Mr. Abé lives with his wife, Machi, an artist, on the outskirts of Tokyo.
