My first Literary Event of the Year (?) was seeing the incomparable Kenzaburo Oe speak at the University of Chicago earlier this week.
I’ve read a few books by Oe in the past few years: “A Personal Matter”, “Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness”, “Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids”, and “Hiroshima Notes”. A Personal Matter and Teach Us to Outgrow our Madness were particularly thought-provoking.
