Annotation

The novel Burnt Map, published in 1967, by the Japanese writer Kobo Abe, along with the other two novels - Woman in the Sand and Another Face - is considered part of the "Disappearance" trilogy. This work of Kobo Abe is often attributed to the genre of detective fiction.

 

Kobo Abe said that the main character of the novel "Woman in the Sand" is "the man who runs", while in "The Burnt Map" on the contrary, the main character, a detective of a private investigation agency, is "the man who follows". In the words of the writer, “in the labyrinth of the city… (which is a desert, and in this desert there are only others) the detective gradually loses himself. This is the age of the city, when it is no longer possible to escape from anything; All that's left for you is to burn your own map and leave yourself in another desert..."

 

While searching for a businessman who suddenly disappeared, the detective witnesses strange events; Finally, he himself loses his memory and disappears. Along with the detective's wanderings in the labyrinths of the streets in search of the necessary clues for the investigation, the writer also describes the human relations of the inhabitants of the modern city.
