A group of young people carries what happened during the post-war period and tries to find a way out. Through their decisions and their ties, the novel explores guilt, responsibility and the possibility of redemption, culminating in an attempt at reconciliation with the past.
Kenzaburō Ōe was a Japanese writer and a major figure in contemporary Japanese literature. His novels, short stories and essays, strongly influenced by French and American literature and literary theory, deal with political, social and philosophical issues, including nuclear weapons, nuclear power, social non-conformism, and existentialism. Ōe was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Literature for creating "an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today".
