In Oe's masterpiece of the human condition and family psychology,
estranged brothers Mitsusaburo and Takashi have long since left
their family home in a remote forested valley on Shikoku, in the
south of Japan: Mitsusaburo for work in Tokyo; his younger brother
Takashi for the United States, to atone for his part in
anti-American student protests. Takashi's return to Japan coincides
with a local Korean supermarket magnate's offer to buy the
brothers' ancestral storehouse, pitting the brothers against one
another and dredging up family histories best forgotten. The Silent
Cry is the most important Japanese novel of the post-war period and
a strange, unsettling tale of how the call of blood and history
echoes down the generations.
