«Dites-nous comment survivre à notre folie» is a collection of short stories by Kenzaburō Ōe, published by Gallimard in paperback (372 pages, in French).
Four stories born from Ōe's personal experience: the war he lived through as a child in 1945 and the birth, in 1964, of his son with intellectual disability. In the title story, a father tries to communicate with his disabled son; in «Gibier d'élevage», the arrival of a black prisoner disrupts a mountain village.
Originally published in 1966, translated into French by Marc Mécréant. 1996 edition in the Folio collection (no. 2792). Ōe received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994.
For readers of Japanese fiction, short stories and autobiographical literature; also for those who follow the work of Nobel laureate Kenzaburō Ōe.
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".
