Title A name given to the resource KAWABATA, Yasunari 川端康成 Subject The topic of the resource about KAWABATA, Yasunari 川端康成 Description An account of the resource Kawabata Yasunari (1899-1972) is the first Japanese to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Kawabata made a debut in 1927 with his short story Izu no odoriko (Izu Dancer), which became one of his representative works in his earlier career. With his novel Yukiguni (Snow Country) of 1937, he distinguished himself as one of the representative novelists of the time. Kawabata lost all of his family members in early childhood. His experiences of loss and orphanhood thus underpinned his writing, but the elegiac tone in his works seems to be linked to the sense of “mono no aware,” Japanese aesthetic ideal which he wanted to pursue in his writings. On Dec. 12, 1968, Kawabata addressed his Nobel Prize Memorial Lecture in montsuki hakama, the Japanese formal attire. He delivered his lecture, titled “Utsukushii Nihon no watakushi (Japan, the Beautiful and Myself),” in Japanese (simultaneously translated by Edward G. Seidensticker). While referring to Zen philosophy, poems and Heian literature, such as Genji monogatari (The Tale of Genji), which he regarded as “a wide and deep source of nourishment” for Japanese artistic expressions, Kawabata explained the delicate sensitivity of the Japanese, which found ephemeral beauty in the myriad manifestations of nature, such as the snow, moon, the blossoms, the mountains, and the rivers. Kawabata’s esoteric lecture flows so smoothly like a stream of water---beautiful, yet somewhat vague and unfocused. But in this lecture, in front of the audience in Stockholm, unfamiliar to the Japanese tradition, culture or literature, he showed his mettle to describe the spiritual foundation of the Japanese mind and uniqueness of the Japanese culture as something essentially different from the Western counterparts.

Title A name given to the resource ŌE, Kenzaburo 大江健三郎 Subject The topic of the resource about ŌE, Kenzaburo 大江健三郎 Description An account of the resource In the Nobel Prize Memorial Lecture, in his speech titled “Aimai na Nihon no watakushi” (Japan, the Ambiguous, and Myself)," while referring to Kawabata Yasunari’s 1968 memorial lecture, Ōe Kenzaburō (1935-) described the tradition of the post-war Japanese writers that they had attempted to “make up for the inhuman atrocities committed by Japanese military forces . . . . Only by doing so did they think they could seek with some humanity reconciliation with the rest of the world.” Ōe won the Akutagawa Prize in 1958 for his Shiiku (The Catch), a story of friendship between a young boy and a black POW during WWII and its sad end, and established himself in the forefront of the new writers of the day. He is also known for his political involvement, and his strong preoccupation with social and political issues is reflected in his earlier works, though his scathing writings have also caused rifts and violent attacks against him. In 1963 the birth of his son with serious brain damage led him in a new direction. In 1968, he wrote Kojinteki kenkai (A Personal Matter) which depicted the sufferings of a young and immature father who must confront the birth of his mentally disabled boy. Around this time, Ōe had visited Hiroshima to investigate the aftereffects of the atomic bomb. These tragic personal experiences and historical events have been closely connected and reflected in his works.

Title A name given to the resource Mo Yan 莫言 Subject The topic of the resource about Mo Yan 莫言 Description An account of the resource Mo Yan, was born in 1955 in Gaomi Township in Shandong Province, a rural area that is the setting for much of his fiction. Mo Yan ("don't speak") is a pseudonym for Guan Moye on the advice of his parents as a school-age boy during the Mao era. The cultural revolution forced him to leave school at 12 and went to work in the fields, completing his education in the army. He published his first book in 1981, but found literary success in 1987 with Hong gaoliang jiazu (Red Sorghum), a novel made into an internationally successful movie by director Zhang Yimou, set against the horrific events that unfolded as Japan invaded China in the 1930s. He writes about peasantry, about life in the countryside, about people struggling to survive, struggling for their dignity, sometimes winning but most of the time losing," said permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy Peter Englund, announcing the win. "The basis for his books was laid when as a child he listened to folktales. The description magical realism has been used about him, but I think that is belittling him – this isn't something he's picked up from Gabriel García Márquez, but something which is very much his own. With the supernatural going in to the ordinary, he's an extremely original narrator.

Title A name given to the resource Gao Xingjian 高行健 Subject The topic of the resource About Gao Xingjian 高行健 Description An account of the resource Gao Xingjian is the first Chinese recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was born in 1940 in Jiangxi province in eastern China, and has lived in France since 1987. Gao Xingjian is that rare artist who excels as novelist, playwright, essayist, director, and painter. In addition to Soul Mountain and One Man's Bible; The Other Shore, a book of his plays; and Return to Painting, a volume of his paintings, have been published in the United States. Gao Xingjian was condemned by the authorities for his "decadent" ideas, forbidden to publish his immensely popular plays during the early 1980s, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. He readied himself for death, but a second Xray granted him a clean bill of health. In light of this miraculous reprieve and rumors of his impending arrest, Gao Xingjian left Beijing and spent five months wandering the forests of central China. His novel traces such a journey to Lingshan (Soul Mountain), which may or may not exist, as a universal quest of the I, you, he, she narrator that ponders and mourns the tragedies of a vast land--the violence, oppression, and sexism; the clear-cutting of forests, pollution of rivers, and forced extinction of animals; the destruction of temples and suppression of art. Gao Xingjian's masterpiece expresses sorrow and anger, wonder and confusion, humor and metaphysics, lust and tenderness, and a profound longing for meaning and freedom.
