In 'Dinos cómo sobrevivir a nuestra locura', Kenzaburo Oé presents a collection of three stories written between the mid-sixties and early seventies. These stories, along with 'La presa', consolidated Oé as an important voice of his generation in Japan. In the story that gives title to the volume, as well as in 'Agui, the monster of the sky', Oé explores the theme of the son with disability, elevating it to a mythical and allegorical category, without losing the tenderness and rawness of reality. Like Faulkner and Bernhard, Oé addresses the loss, guilt, and unmasking of a system of official lies, transcending mere lamentation to offer a reflection and testimony of historical and social value.
Kenzaburō Ōe was a Japanese writer and a major figure in contemporary Japanese literature. His novels, short stories and essays, strongly influenced by French and American literature and literary theory, deal with political, social and philosophical issues, including nuclear weapons, nuclear power, social non-conformism, and existentialism. Ōe was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Literature for creating "an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today".
