Miguel Sanchez Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Week 11 update A big hand to Aim Here for bringing this one to my attention. Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oe: Kenzaburo Oe, Nobel prize-winning Japanese writer, dies aged 88 | Books | The Guardian Quote Kenzaburo Oe, a giant of Japanese writing and winner of the Nobel prize in literature, has died aged 88. Spanning fiction and essays, Oe’s work tackled a wide range of subjects from militarism and nuclear disarmament to innocence and trauma, and he became an outspoken champion for the voiceless in the face of what he regarded as his country’s failures. Regarded by some in Japan as distinctly western, Oe’s style was often likened to William Faulkner; in his own words, in his writing he would “start from my personal matters and then link it up with society, the state and the world”. Many of his stories and essays touched on formative events in his life, including the impact of war on Japanese society in novels such as The Silent Cry – which the Nobel committee deemed his masterpiece – and the birth of his son Hikari, which led him to explore his own experience as the father of a disabled child in the novels A Personal Matter and A Quiet Life. Oe is the second Nobel laureate I've posted about despite not actually having read any of his work. I'll avoid this by doing what I did with Toni Morrison, posting his speech: Oe died at 88 so he's worth 37 Base Points for me. I also get a Solo Shot for a total of 87 points.
