Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Somehow - and this is what gives his art such unquestionable stature - Oe manages to smuggle a comic thread in all this tragedy (Independent)

Though thoroughly Japanese, Oe, in the range of hope and despair he covers, seems to me to have in him a touch of Dostoevsky (Henry Miller)

A new pinnacle in postwar Japanese fiction (Yukio Mishima)

Oe piles copious and inventive misery onto his hero before allowing him enlightenment and redemption. (Jake Kerridge Sunday Telegraph 2011-11-06)

Reseña del editor:

Two brothers, Takashi and Mitsu, return from Tokyo to the village of their childhood. Selling their family home leads them to an inescapable confrontation with their family history. Their attempt to escape the influence of the city ends in failure as they realize that its tentacles extend to everything in the countryside, including their own relationship.

In 1994, Kenzaburo Oe was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Singling out The Silent Cry, the Nobel Committee stated that 'his poetic force creates an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament'. Kenzaburo Oe is one of the great writers of the century and The Silent Cry is his masterpiece.
