Kimitaka: I borrowed a documentary video called “ 響きあう父と子～大江健三郎と息子 光の30年” by NHK TV (the video is available at East Asian Library. You can watch the video in a room in the library. I highly recommend it to everyone!)

Megan sent the following email to me that I wasn't able to process and so, now, I'm just dumping in -- better than nothing but ...
Hi Professor Wallace,
Here are some more articles I came across in my research that might be
useful to other students. Several of them deal with Oe works that we
didn't read, but I still found them informative in terms of
style/technique (and as long as you're making an Oe library, why not...)
Attached:Isherwood, Christopher. "Beyond Boundaries: Centre/Periphery Discourse in
Oe Kenzaburo's Dojidai Gemu and Witi Ihimaera's The Matriach. Graduate
Research Essay (doctoral) 2003."A Coversation with Oe Kenzaburo." Steven Bradbury, Donald Pease, Rob
Wilson, Oe Kenzaburo. 1993.(a lot of this one is very
political/theoretical and they talk a bunch about the sublime and nuclear
power, but there's still some good stuff in it)Loughman, Celeste. "The Seamless Universe of Oe Kenzaburo." WLT
73.3(Summer 1999). I didn't see this in the WLT files on bspace; hopefully
it's not a duplicate of something you've already posted.Claremont, Yasuko. "Oe Kenzaburo: themes and techniques in Mizukara Waga
Namida Wo Nugui Tamau Hi (The Day He Himself Shall Wipe My Tears Away)."
Japanese Studies 23.2 (2003). I don't know if this is something that
became part of her book or not..Crawford, Lawrence. "Viktor Shklovskij: Differance in Defamiliarization."
Comparative Literature 36.3 (1984). This is not about Oe, but
defamiliarization...Crawford takes the original theorist, throws in some
Freud and Derrida, and pops out some new theory. It's a very difficult
read, but it is very cool to help think about Oe (I think, anyway).
Hirata, Hosea. "Masturbation, the Emperor, and the Language of the Sublime
in Oe Kenzaburo." positions 2:1 1994."An Autonomous Subject's Long Waiting, Coexistence." Oe Kenzaburo and Kim
Chi-ha conversation. positions 5:1 1997.
Oe and Yoshida Interview 1988. (this is also from WLT, but didn't see it
in the bspace files).Wilson, Michiko. "Oe's Obsessive Metaphor, Mori, the Idiot Son: Toward the
Imagination of Satire, Regeneration, and Grotesque Realism." Journal of
Japanese Studies 7.1 (1981). Again, don't know if this morphed into
something in her book or not, but here's the article...and Yoshida, Sanroku. "Kenzaburo Oe: A New World of Imagination."
Comparative Literature Studies 22.1 (1985).
Hope these are helpful to someone...
