Kenzaburo Oe, Nobel prize-winning Japanese writer, dies aged 88
Kenzaburo Oe, a giant of Japanese writing and winner of the Nobel prize in literature, has died aged 88. Spanning fiction and essays, Oe’s work tackled a wide range of subjects from militarism and nuclear disarmament to innocence and trauma, and he became an outspoken champion for the voiceless in the face of what he regarded as his country’s failures. Regarded by some in Japan as distinctly western, Oe’s style was often likened to William Faulkner; in his own words, in his writing he would “start from my personal matters and then link it up with society, the state and the world”.
