1. Kenzaburo Oe - Biography
   Kenzaburo oe kenzaburo Oe was born in 1935, in a village hemmed in by the forests of Shikoku, one of the four main islands of Japan.  
   http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1994/oe-bio.html
   
   Extractions: The Second World War broke out when Oe was six. Militaristic education extended to every nook and cranny of the country, the Emperor as both monarch and deity reigning over its politics and its culture. Young Oe, therefore, experienced the nation's myth and history as well as those of the village tradition, and these dual experiences were often in conflict. Oe's grandmother was a critical storyteller who defended the culture of the village, narrating to him humourously, but ever defiantly, anti-national stories. After his father's death during the war, his mother took over his father's role as educator. The books she bought him - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Strange Adventures of Nils Holgersson - have left him with an impression he says 'he will carry to the grave'. At the age of eighteen, Oe made his first long train trip to Tokyo, and in the following year enrolled in the Department of French Literature at Tokyo University where he received instruction under the tutelage of Professor Kazuo Watanabe, a specialist on Francois Rabelais. Rabelais' image system of grotesque realism, to use Mikhail Bakhtin's terminology, provided him with a methodology to positively and thoroughly reassess the myths and history of his native village in the valley. Watanabe's thoughts on humanism, which he arrived at from his study of the French Renaissance, helped shape Oe's fundamental view of society and the human condition. An avid reader of contemporary French and American literature, Oe viewed the social condition of the metropolis in light of the works he read. Yet, he also endeavored to reorganize, under the light of Rabelais and humanism, his thoughts on what the women of the village had handed down to him, those stories that constituted his background. In this sense, he was again living another duality.

   Extractions: Kenzaburo Oe (1935-) Japanese novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. Oe has often dealt with marginal people and outcasts and isolation from individual level to social and cultural levels. Another central theme as in the works of a number of other Japanese writers is the conflict between traditions and modern Western culture. " My observation is that after one hundred and twenty years of modernisation since the opening of the country, present-day Japan is split between two opposite poles of ambiguity. I too am living as a writer with this polarisation imprinted on me like a deep scar." (from Nobel Lecture, 1994) Kenzaburo Oe was born in a mountain village on the island of Shikoku, the smallest of the four main Japanese islands, where his family had lived for centuries. The village and the forests surrounding it later inspired several of Oe's pastoral works. Oe's father died in the Pacific war in 1944, and in the same year he lost his grandmother, who had taught him art and oral performance. After attending a local school, Oe transferred to a high school in Matsuyama City. He won an admission to the University of Tokyo, where he studied French literature and received his B.A. in 1959. His final-year thesis was on the French writer Jean-Paul Sartre. Another important French writer for Oe was Albert Camus.

He entered the University of Tokyo in 1954, graduating in 1959, and the brilliance of his writing while he was still a student caused him to be hailed the most promising young writer since Mishima Yukio. Ōe first attracted attention on the literary scene with Shisha no ogori Lavish Are the Dead ), published in the magazine Bungakukai. His literary output was, however, uneven.

   Extractions: This page is prepared by Thomas Court and Tsuey-Lin Yap Biography Grotesque Realism "A Personal Matter" The Real Story Kenzaburo Oe was born in 1935, in a small Japanese town on the island of Shikoku. The women of the Oe clan had long assumed the role of storytellers. After his fatherfs death during the war, his mother took over his fatherfs role as educator. Oefs mother made sure that he had access to books as a child. Oefs favourite books as a young boy were "The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Strange Adventures of Nils Holgersson." These two books left him with an impression he says "He will carry to the grave." The Second World War started when he was six. Oe and his peers received military education in schools. Oe recalls, gThe Ethics teacher would call the boys to the front of the class and demand of them one by one what they would do if the Emperor commanded them to die. Shaking with fright, the child would answer: "I would die, Sir, I would rip open my belly and die." Students passed the Imperial portrait with their eyes to the ground, afraid their eyeballs would explode if they looked His Imperial Majesty in the face.hKenzaburo had a recurring dream in which the Emperor swopped out of the sky like a bird, his body covered with white feathers. On the day the Emperor announced the Surrender in August 1945, Oe was a ten-year-old boy living in a mountain village. Here is how he recalls the event: "The adults sat around their radios and cried. The children gathered outside in the dusty road and whispered their bewilderment. We were most confused and disappointed by the fact that the Emperor had spoken in a human voice, no different from any adultfs. None of us understood what he was saying, but we all had heard his voice. One of my friends could even imitate it cleverly. Laughing, we surrounded him - a twelve year old in grimy shorts who spoke with the Emperorfs voice. A minute later we felt afraid. We looked at one another; no one spoke. How could we believe that an august presence of such awful power had become an ordinary human being on a designated summer day?"

    Extractions: Courtesy of Kyodo Photo Service Born on the island of Shikoku in 1935, the son of a successful paper merchant, Nobel Prize-winning writer Oe grew up in an isolated, rural setting, his fertile imagination encouraged by his grandmother' retelling of legends and folk tales. He was an introverted, dreamy child, who excelled first at math and then at literature. Realizing the potential shown by his high school studies, Oe moved to the mainland in 1954 to enter Tokyo University. His fiction was published first in student magazines, and soon drew the attention of the literary world outside. In 1958 his short story "Shiiku" (Prize Stock) won the Akutagawa Prize for Literature, and in the same year his first novel came out - "Memeshiri Kouchi" (Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids). Oe, following his graduation at the age of 23, plunged directly into a career as a full-time writer. In 1960 he married Yukari, the sister of film director and old high-school friend, Itami Juzo. In the sixties Japan saw its new-found economic prosperity shaken by recurring student riots over the US-Japan defense treaty. Recording the atmosphere of nuclear paranoia following the Cuban missile crisis, Oe found himself under attack from both left and right-wingers for refusing to bow down to party dogma. The year 1963, however, was to bring a very personal tragedy; the couple's first son, Hikari, was born with a cerebral hernia - the surgery to save the infant's life resulted in irreversible brain damage.

English versions followed within a few days in special editions of The Asahi Shimbun and the International Herald Tribune. Professor Chomsky's letter was printed in two parts, which have now been recombined and placed between Oe's initial letter and later response. Both Oe letters were translated by Hisaaki Yamanouchi. The three letters are reprinted here, without textual alteration, through the kind permission of The Asahi Shimbun and through the valuable mediation of WLT associate contributing editor Yoshiko Fukushima of the University of Oklahoma. Dear Professor Noam Chomsky: After I had come back to Japan, I sent you the English version of my report on Okinawa, which I had visited before going to Harvard. I did so because while writing my report, I kept reminding myself of your famous remark: "Literature can heighten your imagination and insight and understanding, but it surely doesn't provide the evidence that you need to draw conclusions and substantiate conclusions." I wished to write something that would be useful for some practical purposes.
