Who is Kenzaburo Oe? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Kenzaburo Oe is a Japanese author who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. Kenzaburo Oe is well known for his haunting works that challenge readers to think critically about their lives. Born only six years before the outbreak of the Second World War, Kenzaburo Oe was greatly moved by the events of the war and his childhood, spent steeped in Japanese military culture. Much of his fiction integrates the small community he grew up in, the clash between city and countryside, a mystical cosmology , and unique mythology. It also challenges many traditional Japanese values. Kenzaburo Oe was born in the forests of Shikoku in 1935, to a family that had traditionally lived a small village life for hundreds of years. In an era when many young Japanese began to leave their homes for Tokyo, Oe's family continued to live an uninterrupted rural life. Oe's family contained many storytellers, who told the young boy fantastical legends about Japan, many of which were incorporated into Kenzaburo Oe's later work. During the Second World War, Kenzaburo Oe was exposed to a new set of myths and legends about Japanese national history and the Japanese military tradition. At the end of the war, Kenzaburo Oe was exposed to many new experiences and different value systems, which drove him to consider a life radically different than the one his family had lived for generations. At the age of 18, Kenzaburo Oe decided to go to Tokyo as a student of French literature, because he felt that Tokyo offered more opportunities for him to grow. His work is heavily influenced by the writing of the French philosophers as a result.

@import url("css/iereview.css"); Home Reviews Blog Daily ... A Personal Matter Nobel Prize Winners (1984) Author Info: Kenzaburo Oe (Translator: John Nathan) Japan has lost the power to connect the principle or theory and reality. I think literature's value is in making those connections. That's the mission of literature. Morals are significant. -Kenzaburo Oe Kenzaburo Oe is probably the most highly regarded of Japan's post-war novelists and A Personal Matter is certainly his best known book. It is the harrowing, semi-autobiographical story of a parent's worst nightmare and of a brutal moral dilemma. As the novel opens, the twenty-something protagonist, whose immaturity is reflected in the fact that he retains his boyhood nickname of Bird, anxiously awaits the birth of his first child, but dreams of escaping his mundane domestic life in Japan and traveling instead to Africa. When Bird's son is born with a herniated brainone doctor nervously giggles that it looks like he has two headshe faces a choice between starving the child to death or financing exorbitantly expensive surgery with little chance of success. Even a successful operation is likely to cause significant brain damage. Overwhelmed, Bird seeks to avoid his responsibilities by twitteringlike his namesakebetween alcohol, an old girlfriend and his African fantasies, avoiding his job, his wife, his child and most of all, the decisions which need to be made. Just hours after finally delivering the child to a back alley abortionist who will kill him and preparing to use the money he has saved up not on the prospective surgical procedures, but to run away to Africa with his girlfriend, Bird has an epiphany in a gay bar and, at last, determines to grow up and accept the mantle of responsibility that he has always sought to avoid. The story ends with the baby having been successfully operated on, though his future mental development remains in doubt, and with Bird's father-in-law telling him that his childish nickname is no longer appropriate because he is a changed man.

ISSN 1205-3597 Road to East Asia A journal on contemporary East Asian literature in English Written by students of at Founders College, York University Vol.1, no. 3, June-August, 1996 Kenzaburo Oe's Muses by Han Ki-Dongt Kenzaburo Oe departs from Japan's conventions to write for a modern audience. This may explain why critics at home have not heaped praises on the 1994 Nobel laureate while many Western intellectuals seem captivated by his startling ideas. Although Oe often addresses socio-political issues in postwar Japan, his concerns are universal, says Roland Barthes ("Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narrative," New Literary History , 237). Recurring themes that characterize what is distinctly Oe's art include the development of a cultural hero, the defeat of Japan and the cost of that defeat, and the birth of a retarded son (Michiko N. Wilson, The Marginal World of Oe Kenzaburo , 6). Of his many works that have been translated into English, The Silent Cry stands out, winning a large number of Western fans."
