Oe Genzaburo: drowning

The 1994 Nobel Prize for Literature, the great Japanese president of modern literature, was drowned in a masterpiece that Genzaburo had completed all his life. Oe Genzaburo, a story that he kept in mind for over 50 years as a novelist, eventually turned into a novel. He's constantly thinking about who the father was, why he died suddenly, and how he didn't know what kind of man he was. I will tell you about my father one day, but finally I will share in this novel a story that I have saved by deciding for myself that I did not have enough training. The author borrowed the mouth of Fersona Joe Kogito, who had appeared in his old works many times before, and he spoke about his father. Kogito has a past where he could do nothing when he saw his father turn his boat in the river during his childhood. The death of Father, who was preparing a flag with his soldiers, has been in a wound for sixty years since he was on the river that had been flooded. Kogito has long prepared the 'Divorce Stories' to talk about his father's death and restore honor. But the attempt to write a novel with the help of the ‘Red Guy’s trunk ’ left by his mother failed and led to verbal violence against his son Acari and a breach in his relationship with his son. A young boy who once looked at his father's death, Joe Kogito, now feels that death is not far away, and he also has a son, Akarari, whose physical abilities are deteriorating because of aging.
