Rouse Up O Young Men Of The New Age by Kenzaburo Oe

ROUSE UP is a virtuoso novel of extraordinary power that returns to the themes that haunt so much of Oe's work: family, responsibility, writing and the experience of being a parent to a disabled child.K lives in Tokyo with his wife and three children. Eeyore, his eldest, is mentally ill and during one dramatic outburst brandishes a knife at his mother. Rather than confront the situation, K's reaction is to sit and read in his study. Eventually Eeyore's problems force K back into family life, where his sympathetic readings of William Blake are no longer an escape route, but a vital way-in to understanding his own son.
Kenzaburo Oe has won the Prix Europalia and the Nobel Prize for Literature, among many other awards. His translated works include Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids, A Quiet Life, Hiroshima Notes and A Personal Matter. He lives in Tokyo with his wife and three children
