Extractions: Oe Kenzaburo (1935-PresentNobel Prize, 1994) Oe Kenzaburo was not one of the "big five" 20th century Japanese novelists I was meeting in the course I took in 1973. Abe Kobo made it (though still alive), in part, because he was the professor's dissertation subject. But Oe, who is younger than I am (was not yet forty then) did have the beginning of a reputation among readers of Japanese fiction in English translation, based largely on a single novel at that time, A Personal Matter , the story of a man, Bird, who must come to terms with, first, the responsibilities of being married at all, thenthe central action of the bookhow to deal with the birth of a deformed child, who seems like a monster to him. I read this novel that summer, and was made uncomfortable by the way the psychology of the problem was handled (the basic problem of the deformed child Oe has evidently handled very well in his own life). I guess my problem was that I didn't find Bird a sympathetic characterdidn't like himso didn't go looking for more Oe to read. This novel had been translated by John Nathan, who tells the story of how he lost Mishima as a friend and client for translation (he had translated Mishima's

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.

Extractions: Despite the claims of democracy and modernization, women in Japanese politics are about as welcome as a dragon tattoo in a sento . The smug fat cats in suits who' controlled Japan throughout the twentieth century still have a firm grip on power but Doi Takako has done more than most to try to break that stranglehold. Currently leader of the Social Democratic Party, it was Doi who achieved the highest government rank that a woman has held so far that of Speaker of the House. Doi entered political life in 1969, after a career as a lecturer at first Kansei Gakuin University and then Seiwa Women's University. The 1970s and '80s were a long, hard struggle against the prejudices of the male-dominated, corruption-riddled bureaucracy that passed for a government, a fight that was well- documented in her biography "My Way" (she hasn't commented on how much of her ideology has been inspired by Sinatra). In 1986 she was elected Chairperson of the SDPJ and became a media celebrity, sparking a so-called "Madonna boom" - a wave of women who aspired to enter politics and follow her example. In 1989 came her first serious battle, over the new consumption tax, which she and her party campaigned against. The tax was introduced, and the ruling LDP party was voted in once more - but suffered heavy losses, while Doi's party won many new seats. This led her to utter her most famous one-liner, "The mountain has moved."

Extractions: An Exchange on Current Affairs Noam Chomsky debates with Oe Kenzaburo World Literature Today , 2002, Volume 76, Issue 2, pp. 29-35 The following exchange of letters first appeared in Japanese in mid-June and mid-July in the Tokyo daily The Asahi Shimbun. 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.

Extractions: Oe Kenzaburo was born on January 31, 1935, in Ose village, Kita Province, in Ehime prefecture on the southern island of Shikoku. When he was six, the Pacific War broke out; at nine, he lost both his father and grandmother. When he was ten, an A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and the Emperor announced the unconditional surrender of Japan. In 1954 Oe was admitted to Tokyo University and majored in French literature. Oe's first commercially published story, "Shisha no ogori (The Arrogance of the Dead)," missed the Akutagawa Prize by one vote. He was awarded that prize the following year, 1958, for "Shiiku (The Catch)." After graduating from the Tokyo University, Oe married Yukari in 1960, the oldest daughter of a film script writer, Itami Mansaku. In May 1960 he traveled to the People's Republic of China as a member of the Japan-China Literary Delegation and met with Mao Zedong. In 1961 he traveled through Eastern and Western Europe, and the Soviet Union, and met Sartre in Paris. In June 1963 his first boy, Hikari, was born with serious brain damage. Oe put a halt to his writing and all other works, and visited Hiroshima. Hiroshima noto (Notes on Hiroshima) was published later in 1965. During this personally very difficult time in the 1960s he wrote, among other works, Kojinteki na taiken (A Personal Matter) based of his experience with his baby, which won the Shinchosha Literary Prize in 1964; and "Manen Gannen no futtoboru (The Football Game of the First Year of Manen, 1967)" after he came back from his trips to Okinawa, the United States, and Australia.

Extractions: Search: Lycos Tripod 40 Yr Old Virgin Share This Page Report Abuse Edit your Site ... Next Oe Kenzaburo was born in 1935 near the forests near Shikoku. The village where he grew up was very traditional in its cultural identity. The women of his family assumed the role of storytellers, thus passing down the story of the region's history. These stories often had more in common with legend than with what we would call traditional history. In 1954 he enrolled in Tokyo University where he studied French literature. He studied under Professor Kazuo Watanabe, a specialist in French literature. Professor Watanabe was very interested in imagery in literature. This interest influenced the writer to re-evaluate the stories and myths that he had heard from the women in his village while growing up as a boy. Oe Kenzaburo began writing in 1957, while still a French literature student. He published his first short story in 1957 entitled "The Catch". He published his first novel in 1958 (Bud-Nipping, Lamb Shooting). In 1964 he wrote "A Personal Matter" a work of nonfiction about his son who was born with a cranial deformity resulting in his becoming a mentally-handicapped person. The following year he wrote another piece of non-fiction entitle "Hiroshima Notes". This piece described the realities and thoughts of the atomic bomb victims.

Extractions: 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."
