Description

Kenzaburō Ōe was ten when American soldiers entered his mountain village during World War II, and his writing "reveals the tension and ambiguity forged by the collapse of the values of his childhood on the one hand and the confrontation with American writers on the other ... [His] heroes have been expelled from the certainty of childhood, into a world that bears no relation to their past."--Page 4 of cover. Abstract: Author of the internationally acclaimed "Lord of the Barnyard," Egolf has established himself as one of the most audacious young writers in America. With "Skirt and the Fiddle," Egolf has given readers a novel that is equal parts headlong plunge into the joys and absurdity of infatuation and a love song to the maddening folly of friendship.
