Life
Kenzaburo Oe was born in Uchiko, Japan, and grew up with six siblings. At the age of 18, he began to study French literature at the University of Tokyo. He made his debut in the 1950s with short stories that were influenced by contemporary French and American authors. One of Oe’s sons was born with brain damage, and his disability is a recurring motif in the novels. The book A Personal Matter, published in 1962, was a way for the author to process and accept this event.

Work
Several of Kenzaburo Oe’s novels deal with the aftermath of World War II and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including Hiroshima Notes (1965). Oe is a committed pacifist and has been involved in campaigns against nuclear weapons and nuclear power. Because of the content of some of his short stories and essays, Oe has become controversial in his native country. The essay Okinawa Notes, which depicts how members of Japan’s military forced the population on the island of Okinawa to take their lives during the invasion in 1945, led to the suing of Oe by two military officers.

生平
大江健三郎出生在日本内湖，与六个兄弟姐妹一起长大。18岁时，他开始在东京大学学习法国文学。他在20世纪50年代以受当代法国和美国作家影响的短篇小说首次亮相。大江的一个儿子出生时有脑损伤，他的残疾是小说中反复出现的一个主题。1962年出版的《个人的事》一书是作者处理和接受这一事件的一种方式。

作品
大江健三郎的几部小说涉及第二次世界大战的后果以及广岛和长崎的原子弹爆炸，包括《广岛笔记》（1965年）。大江是一个坚定的和平主义者，并参与了反对核武器和核电的运动。由于他的一些短篇小说和散文的内容，大江在他的祖国引起了争议。冲绳笔记》一文描述了日本军队成员如何在1945年的入侵中强迫冲绳岛的居民自杀，导致两名军官对大江提出起诉。
