Oe, Kenzaburo

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Ōe, Kenzaburō (1935– )

Japanese novelist. Involved in leftist politics in Japan, he has explored the situation of culturally disinherited post-war youth. His works include Kojinteki-na taiken/A Personal Matter (1964), describing from direct experience the development of an abnormal baby, seen by some as a metaphor for the contemporary Japanese situation. His earlier novel Shiiku/The Catch (1958) was awarded the Akutagawa Prize. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994.
