Known for his pacifist and anti-nuclear stance, Oe was part of a generation of writers “deeply wounded” by the Second World War, “but full of hope for revival”.
Born in 1935, Oe grew up in a wooded valley on the island of Shikoku, western Japan, a remote place he often evoked in his writings as a microcosm of humanity.
