Toh EnJoe (born 1972) is a Japanese novelist. After studying physics at Tohoku University, he completed a doctoral program at the University of Tokyo and worked as a researcher before making his literary debut in 2007 with "Of the Baseball," which received the Bungakukai New Writers Award. Drawing on ideas from mathematics, physics, and information science, his experimental fiction frequently examines language, writing, and the processes through which stories and meanings are created. He received the Noma Literary New Face Prize for "U-yu-shi-tan" in 2010, the Akutagawa Prize for "Dokeshi no Cho" in 2012, and the Nihon SF Taisho Award for "Mojika" in 2019. His representative work, "Dokeshi no Cho," follows the elusive multilingual writer Tomoyuki Tomoyuki and the wealthy businessman Abrams, who discovers himself described as a clown in one of Tomoyuki's novels. As manuscripts, languages, writers, and readers intersect, the novel continually rearranges the boundaries between author and reader and between language and meaning.
