Are there any English translations of the famous Japanese novel Kanikosen?

Question:


If so, where can I find one?

Answer:


Yes, there is.
Pls read the followings.
I've checked about the book at University of Tokyo Press web site and found out that the book is out of stock and there is no immediate plan of printing at the present.

Kanikōsen (蟹工船?) (published in English as The Crab Canning Ship, The Factory Ship or The Crab Ship) is a novel by Takiji Kobayashi, written in 1929. Written from a left-wing point of view, it concerns the crew of a crab fishing ship's hardships as they struggle under capitalist exploitation. The book has been made into a film and as manga. It is a short work, totalling around 80 pages in its English language translation.
