Silent Cry

Buch voller selbstzerstörerischer Charaktere, die nicht in der Lage sind, sich selbst zu vergeben oder in der Lage sind, für ihre Handlung zu Süden, was sie nie getan haben.

All good...

The distinctly unpromising set up - supermarket creating change in an unchanged Village - is transcended as a powerful economically written work grips. Family, Marriage and history are beautifully explored with some shocking effects. Oe's life mingles with his work to great effect here.

I've only read three other Oe novels and this one is my favorite. It's also one of my favorite books in general and I'm an avid reader. It's a very mature book so I DON'T recommend it for a younger audience. As the other reviews say, it's dark and can even be painful to read at times. It's quixotic, brooding, bleak, and to borrow from another reviewer it does leave you unsettled and unnerved. However, it's also beautiful in an odd way... so if you're looking for something different this could be it. To summarize it, it's about two brothers who visit the village they were raised in. Although this may sound a little cliche the events and the history they discover are not.

very good book very good condition on time love it like always!!!
