5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative, raw, every word pulls you into his world., November 13, 1998
By A Customer
Kenzaburo Oe was introduced to myself less than a year ago and since that time I regard him as my favorite writer. He has a tragic history in life and he portrays the reality of his pain so deeply within his stories. Yet, his writing is far from depressing. His imagination is on a far different level than any other writer I have run into. He writes what most are afraid to hear or describe. His prose is incredibly poetic, concise, and he leaves no room for candy coated happy endings. Everything he writes is real and I feel comes from deep in his soul. If you want to read about real life read Oe. His work flows like a story from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but includes a darker side. I find myself reading Oe over and over again I hope I have sparked someone else's interest.
