Kangaroo Notebook by Kobo Abé
A beleaguered office worker discovers radish sprouts growing from his shins and seeks treatment, only to be swept onto a runaway hospital gurney that propels him through a nightmarish, bureaucratic underworld. As he encounters grotesque caregivers, environmental blight, and absurd institutions, his journey blurs illness with dream and satire, forcing him to confront guilt, identity, and mortality in a darkly comic, surreal odyssey where the boundaries between life and death, reality and delirium, steadily dissolve.
