Translated from the Japanese and with an introduction by John Nathan. 261 pages. hardcover. Cover illustration: Mayumi Oda Nathan. keywords: Literature Translated Japan Asia . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Oe is acknowledged to be the be the most important writer to have emerged in in Japan since World War Il, and these four novels explain why his passionate, original vision, powered by an astonishing energy, speaks for the new generation that has grown up in Japan since the War. The earliest of his stories included here, Prize Stock, is an extraordinary tale about the strange relationship between a Japanese boy and a captured black American flyer in a Japanese mountain village during the War. It was for this short novel that Oe won the coveted Akutagawa Prize while he was still a student at Tokyo University. The short novel which supplies the title for this book, Teach Us To Outgrow Our Madness, tells of the close relationship between an outlandishly fat father and his mentally defective son named Eeyore - a work which, as John Nathan tells us in his introduction, reflects the altered world of Oe after his first child, a baby boy he called Pooh, was born with brain damage. Aghwee The Sky Monster is about a young man's first job - chaperoning a banker's son, haunted by the ghost of a baby in a white nightgown. The Day He Himself Shall Wipe My Tears Away is the longest story in this collection and his most disturbing work to date. The narrator lies in a hospital bed eagerly waiting to die of liver cancer, probably imagined, wearing a pair of underwater goggles covered in dark cellophane. It is a work of astonishing power conveying more of Oe's essence than anything he has ever written. inventory #5929.
