«Una cuestión personal» is the novel by Nobel Prize winner Kenzaburo Oé, published by Planeta-De Agostini in 2003 in hardback (189 pages, in Spanish).
A young Japanese intellectual receives the news that his son has been born with a disability and is plunged into a personal crisis. Between the temptation to flee and the weight of responsibility, he must decide whether he can accept and love the child; the novel thus explores commitment, guilt, and the search for meaning.
For readers interested in Japanese fiction and in the work of a Nobel Prize winner.
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".
