  Oe Kenzaburo was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. This critical study examines Oe's career from 1957 to 2006 and includes chapters on Oe's novels. Through close readings at different points in Oe's career, it establishes the spiritual path that he has taken in its three major phrases of nihilism, atonement, and salvation.
