Fiction
Death by Water
An aging novelist returns to his hometown seeking documents that will reveal how his father died during the war. Oe's meditation on memory, guilt, and the stories families keep buried feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. For readers who appreciate fiction that examines how the past refuses to stay buried. The kind of novel that uses one man's search for truth to explore larger questions about Japan's wartime history and the price of survival.
