The Silent Cry
Kenzuburo Oe
Minimal, distressing, incisive, Oe's writing isn't easy to read and once read isn't easy to forget. This family drama moves forward in the shadow of inevitable tragedy and yet Oe still manages to weave a small,wry comic thread through his narrative. Oe won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994, with The Silent Cry being singled out by the committee...'his poetic force creates an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament'.
