Extractions: Reference Desk Encyclopedia Oe, Kenzaburo Pronunciation Key Oe, Kenzaburo Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids (tr. 1995). Five years later the birth of his severely brain-damaged son marked a turning point in his life and work. His best known novel, A Personal Matter (1964, tr. 1968), deals with a father's slow acceptance of his similarly handicapped infant son. Several of his other works concern this theme. In life, he and his wife have devoted much of their lives to their son's care. Oe's other works include more than 20 novels, among them The Silent Cry (1967, tr. 1974), The Pinch Runner Memorandum (1976, tr. 1993), and A Quiet Life (1990, tr. 1996), several short-story collections, essays, and Hiroshima Notes (1965, tr. 1995), which chronicles the courage of the victims of the nuclear attack. His often angry and politically charged tales, his recurrent themes of abnormality, sexuality, and marginality, and his gritty, realistic style set him apart from the mainstream Japanese literary tradition. Oe was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994. Somersault (2003), his first novel since winning the prize, revolves around a terrorist religious cult and its charismatic leader.

Extractions: -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.

Oe, Kenzaburo
oe, kenzaburo (1935 ). Japanese writer, essayist, and Nobel laureate, who is perhaps the greatest Japanese novelist since World War II (1939-1945).

Extractions: Oe was born in a remote mountain village in Shikoku, a location often featured in his work, and grew up during World War II. In 1954 he entered Tokyo University and in 1958 won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize for his story Shiiku (1958; translated as The Catch, 1959), describing a village's custody of a captured black airman. His first full-length novel, Memushiri kouchi (1958; Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids, 1995), established his reputation as an important postwar writer. Oe wrote about the alienating conditions of modern Japan while supporting left-wing political causes. Despite his political sympathies, Oe maintained a friendship with nationalist writer Mishima Yukio. In 1963 the birth of a mentally handicapped son and a visit to Hiroshima heralded a new direction in Oe's writing. Hiroshima noto (1965; Hiroshima Notes, 1995) combines reportage with reflection on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945. This period of Oe's career culminated in his masterpiece Man'en gannen no futtoboru (1967; The Silent Cry, 1974). A complex and intellectual work, the novel contains themes of existential crisis, history, myth, and cultural identity. Later novels explore antinuclear and ecological issues. Oe's works also include Kozui wa waga tamashii ni oyobi (The Floodwaters Have Come in Unto My Soul, 1973), Dojidai gemu (Contemporary Games, 1979), the science fiction best-seller Chiryoto (The Treatment Tower, 1990), and Jinsei no shinseki (1989; An Echo of Heaven, 1996). He was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize for literature
