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.

66. Oe, Kenzaburo oe, kenzaburo (1935 ). Japanese writer, essayist, and Nobel laureate, who is perhaps the greatest Japanese novelist since World War II (1939-1945). http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/O/oekenzaburo/1.

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