Silent Scream - Oe Kenzaburo
“Silent Scream” (Literature Publishing House) is one of five works that won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994 by writer Oe Kenzaburo. The book can be seen as an insight into the cultural and social changes in Japan during the period of cultural transition.
Despite its cultural and historical background, the work does not hesitate to explore complex themes such as friendship, love, and human relationships.
After a series of emotional shocks: a newborn child with intellectual disabilities, a wife who drowns her sorrows with alcohol, and a best friend who commits suicide in a haunting way, Nedokoro Mitsusaburo and his younger brother Takashi return to their childhood village, where family secrets and past events begin to shake their lives. The two brothers face their own darkness and the burden of their family history, leading to a tragic end.
