A lapsed Catholic, Inoue works in a monkish annex that he calls "the cockpit," next to his vast and growing collection of books. Except for dinner breaks with his wife of 21 years, he shuns company. "The world of imagination is my reality," he says. "I haven't left this house in a month." He refuses to attend parties, to undertake book tours or appear on TV interview...
