Hituri celebre din epoca Showa are ca subiect rivalitatea sălbatică dintre două grupuri (de tineri și de femei trecute de treizeci de ani), care intră pe neașteptate într‘un conflict absurd.

Premiul Nobel pentru Literatura 1994

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.
