Product Description
"Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" recounts the exploits of fifteen teenage reformatory boys evacuated to a remote mountain village in wartime. The boys are treated as delinquent outcasts - feared and detested by the local peasants. When plague breaks out, their hosts abandon them and flee, blockading them inside the empty village. The boys' brief and doomed attempt to build autonomous lives of self-respect, love and tribal valour fails in the face of death and the adult nightmare of war. 'An angry, engrossing novel...It is an extraordinary first novel, an amazing achievement for a writer of any age. Myth-like and almost painfully suspenseful, "Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" has much in common with both "Lord of the Flies" and "The Plague"...His uncompromising honesty is what gives the story its universality and what makes its grim ending such a persuasive warning' - "New York Times". 'No Japanese novelist has ever written more brilliantly than Oe about the division that exists in the soul of his country' - "Daily Telegraph". 'A fiercely original book..."Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" presents a complete and compelling world - a world powerfully remembered, powerfully imagined' - "Boston Globe". 'Dark, elliptical and austere...His novels are quite unlike those of any other Japanese novelist' - "The Times". ... Read more

Friction between the Public and Private Self
Seventeen and the two halves of J are three variations on a similar theme.In these stories, the protagonists are confronted with the realization that their private and public selves are irreconcilably different, and it is this schism that leads to the characters' self-destruction.

In Seventeen (4.5 stars), Oe masterfully portrays the story's anti-hero, a seventeen year old boy who awakens to many fears--death, status as outsider/outcast by family and peers, his own insecurity--as well as the antidote to these fears: masturbation (Oe's use of a Japanese euphemism that means "self-defilement" is telling of the protagonist's sadistic streak).In fact, the protagonist longingly states that it would be nice if life was just one long orgasm.By a few twists of fate, it is right-wing extremism that he chooses as his "suit of armor" to cover his vulnerable ego, and it is the emperor he chooses as the object of his quest for the lifelong orgasm.

Oe's choice of a seventeen year old protagonist is not coincidental.This story is patterned after the murder of a left-wing politician by a seventeen year old youth.Not surprisingly, Oe's interpretation of events enflamed a passionate response from Japan's ultranationalist right who were outraged by Oe's connection between right-wing activism and the masturbation of a lonely, frightened boy.

Again in J (4 stars), Oe uses sex as the vehicle for his message about the strain between acting on one's true impulses and desires and conforming to social norms and expectations.The contrast is illustrated immediately as the Tokyo-ites observe the silent, condemning crowd outside of the house of an adulterer.The scene is repeated later at J's cottage after the "free love" goings on of the young socialites is witnessed by a young boy from the village.The villagers retreat, but the damage is done.The socialites are overcome with a feeling of defilement and emptiness, crushed as a result of not meeting the expectations of a disapproving society.

The second half focuses on the struggle between expression and conformity in the odd "pervert's club" of J, an old man, and a youth.At different stages, they realize that there is no compromise--they must either give in to their true nature or commit entirely to conforming to society.In the end, they all reject society and meet inglorious ends.

In Seventeen and J, Oe uses rather extreme situations to highlight the difficulty or even impossibility of reconciling personal expression and social expectations.Both the vehicle and the content of Oe's message are oddly gripping and memorable.These stories will not be enjoyed by all readers, but I think they will reward those who keep an open mind and search for the meaning that Oe instills in his works.

Politics and Sex
_Seventeen & J_ was one of the many books resting and collecting dust that I bought on a whim and reall had little intention of reading soon. I have read two other Oe novels before these two short novels, _Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids_ and _A Personal Matter_ and his reknowned short story "The Catch," but while I did enjoy these works I was caught up in the recent literature of two of my favorite writers: Murakami Haruki and Yoshimoto Banana, and withing their numerous pages concerning sheepmen and girls who love to sleep in the kitchen, I was kind of bored when I entered Oe's more mundane world.

However, after a couple of years and haing read many of the works of Natsume Soseki, Tanizaki Junichiro, Mishima Yukio, and Kawabata Yasunari, I decided to try another Oe novel. After all the man did win the Nobel Prize for literature, and that must mean something, hehe.

I am glad that I did read these short novels, because they give the reader a view of the tumultuous early 60s in Japan.

_Seventeen_ stars a a young high school student who has just turned seventeen years old. While he is in the bathroom, he feels on top of the world and that with a little effort he will be able to accomplish anything. However, after he leaves the restroom, his high hopes fall back to earth and he gets into a poltical argument with his sister. He supporting the left, communists, and she supporting the right, basically nationalists. The sister wins the argument and succeeds in reducing her brother to tears. However, he pays her back with a swift kick to the eye. One can almost tell that "Seventeen" wants someone to say something to him, but the onl thing that happens is that his father says his sister won't help pay his college tuition.

The next day is even worse. The boy fails several important tests, but worse of all he wets himself while running 800 meters. Later a friend takes Seventeen to a rightest political rally, which the young high schooler becomes entranced by. He soon joins the rightest group, and even though he spouts all of the correct rightest slogans, one can tell he is only doing so because he feels that he finally belongs to a group of people.

The hero of _J_ is quite different than Seventeen. He is the 29 year old son of the president of a steel company and has money coming out of the yin yang. He also has a group of artists, a poet, an actor, a jazz singer, a camera man, a sculpter, his younger sister, a poet, and a film maker, his wife, at his beck and call. The novel starts out with J and his friend getting drunk in his jaguar as they head to his father's country houe to film a movie directed by his wife. They enjoy their time there, well mot of them at least, drinking, having sex, and telling dirty stories. However, things go wrong when they catch a little boy inside the cabin who escapes by crashing through a window. Everything works out fine in the end, but not before some very harsh words are spoken among the friends. Their close personal web of friendship, thought to be quite strong, was, in fact, quite weak.

The second part of the _J_ novel, finds J teamed up with a 60 year old man. They are both chikans, men who find sexual arousal through rubbing themselves on young girls on crowded trains, buses, subways, etc. However, they are quite cautious when they do it, that is why they are quite moved by a young man who performs chikan almost completely out in the open to gain experience so he can write a grand poem about sexual perversity.

Both novels are quite good. _Seventeen_ seems a bit stunted, but that is because the second half was not translated. The second part has never even been reprinted in Japanese because its original publication brought Oe much criticism from the left and the right. So, in all honesty, to protect his life, the story was never reprinted or translated.

A great book that gives to reader a raw view of the extremist in Japan during the early years of the sixties.

The Solemn Tightrope Walkers
This is quintessential Oe.

If we fail to see ourselves reflected in society often we become outcasts or are labeled as deviant.The images of Seventeen and J are not reflexive.Therefore, by acts of violence and sexual molestation, they superimpose their images on a world which refusesto see.

With Seventeen and J, Oedepicts the transmution of post-warJapan.This is cleverly evidenced by J's truncated name and the attitudeof Seventeen's father.While the political aspect of Japan is moreapparent in Seventeen, the politics in J are presented in a more abstractlevel.

They have each architected an inner world populated with theshadows of despair, doubt, and disgust. Oe lets us become voyeurs of theprivate and sometimes painful world of these two young men who areself-described "others".

Seventeen and J are both "Solemn TightropeWalkers".Yet, what they are trying to balance is their existence in aworld which they despisewith a raison detre.This is demonstrated bySeventeen's fanatical involvement with a right-wing political group and J'sflirtation with being a "chaikan".

These two novels should be read byanyone who gives a damn or have stopped.

Two Novels: J and Seventeen.
Oe Kenzaburop is a genius.I gave a copy of this book to two people-once three or four years ago to my high school English teacher, and once again this year to a fellow college student at Binghamton University.

The firstperson liked Seventeen better.He thought the masturbation scene inSeventeen was masterful.I thought so too.The scene is supposedly thefirst masturbation scene in a Japanese novel, and it was enthrallinglydetailed.Seventeen was a good depiction of a boy coming of age, and hisconfused entry into the world of Japanese politics.The second person towhom I gave the book, loved the part in which the protogonist of Seventeenkicks his sister in the face, breaking her glasses.

As the first personto whom I gave the book liked Seventeen better than J, the second person towhom I gave the book liked J better than Seventeen.I too liked J better. J was a more vivid depiction of Japan and its contemporary personage's.Jis written in two parts.The first part of the book takes place in thecountry, it presents J as a person confused about sex and his ownsexuality, and at some point he even comes across as homosexual.Thesecond part shows him in the city.He no longer contents himself with theanswers life grants him, he decides to go out into the world and chancefinding the sexual answers he desires by taking action.He becomes a"chikan," a sexual predator, who rides trains looking for hisnext victim (he exposes his naked parts to innocent train passengers,usually young school girls heading to school or returning home).Ridingthe trains he meets two persons with whom he will develop a great bond. This novel introduces some of the most memorable characters in fiction.Inthe world of Japanese literature Oe Kenzaburo ranks with Saikaku Ihara,Yasunari Kawabata, and Mishima Yukio.

J is about sex, it is about thepain of being a sadist-the suffering a sadist has to go through because heis miss understood.Reading this book, and seeing the unfairness in it, isenough to make a person question the way we view people, and society forthat matter.

This book is essential for anyone who's interested in sex,or is just a straight out pervert.The first person to whom I gave thebook was an erudite, whom I felt needed to read the book to be furtherlearnt in literature.The second person was one who wanted me to suggestsome books for him to read, for he wanted to be well-read.I felt thisbook was essential for such a goal. ...

His works of fiction and non-fiction have garnered him critical acclaim, and he is the sixth recipient of the Franz Kafka Prize for his novel Kafka on the Shore. He is considered an important figure in postmodern literature, and The Guardian praised him as one of the "world's greatest living novelists." Murakami was born in Japan during the Post-World War II baby boom. Although born in Kyoto, he spent his youth in Shukugawa(Nishinomiya), Ashiya and Kobe. His father was the son of a Buddhist priest, and his mother the daughter of an Osaka merchant. Both taught Japanese literature. Since childhood, Murakami has been heavily influenced by Western culture, particularly Western music and literature. He grew up reading a range of works by American writers, such as Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan, and he is often distinguished from other Japanese writers by his Western influences. Murakami studied drama at Waseda University in Tokyo,...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=229198 ... Read more

Chapters: Battle of Okinawa, Kenzaburō Ōe, Minoru Ōta, Mitsuru Ushijima, Isamu Chō, Tsushima Maru, Himeyuri Students, Yoshiko Sakurai, Toyama Maru. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June, 1945. The battle has been referred to as the "Typhoon of Steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of gunfire involved, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in one of the highest number of casualties of any World War II engagement. Japan lost over 100,000 troops, and the Allies suffered more than 50,000 casualties. Simultaneously, more than 100,000 civilians (12,000 in action) were killed, wounded, or committed suicide. Approximately one-quarter of the civilian population died due to the invasion. Five divisions of the U.S. Tenth Army, the 7th, 27th, 77th, 81st, and 96th, and two Marine Divisions, the 1st and 6th, fought on the island while the 2nd Marine Division remained as an amphibious reserve and was never brought ashore. The invasion was supported by naval, amphibious, and tactical air forces. The main objective of the operation was to seize a large island only 340 miles away from mainland Japan. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of Japanese mainland, coded Operation Downfall.

From the supplier: Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oe, the winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Literature, harps on the theme of healing and salvation in his works. He does not shy away from writing about politics and his output is never rushed and intended as popular fiction. His characters reappear in many works and situtations that have happened in previous works are usually alluded to in subsequent ones. This characteristic forces the reader and critic to delve into his entire output.

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Ernst Nolte (born 11 January 1923) is a German historian and philosopher. Noltes major interest is the comparative studies of Fascism and Communism. He is Professor Emeritus of Modern History at the Free University of Berlin, where he taught from 1973 to 1991. He was previously a Professor at the University of Marburg from 1965 to 1973. Nolte has been a prominent conservative academic since the early 1960s, and involved in many controversies related to the interpretation of the history of fascism and communism. More recently, he has also focused on Islamism. His work has been the object of extreme controversy. Nolte was born in Witten, Westphalia to a Roman Catholic family. Nolte's parents were Heinrich Nolte, a school rector, and Anna (née Bruns) Nolte. According to Nolte in a March 28, 2003 interview with a French newspaper Eurozine, his first encounter with Communism occurred when he was 7 years old in 1930, when he read in a doctor's office a German translation of a Soviet children's book attacking the Roman Catholic Church, which very much angered him. In 1941, Nolte was excused from military service because of a deformed hand, and he studied Philosophy, Philology and Greek at the Universities of Münster, Berlin, and Freiburg.
