Judge About Books Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids

Long before winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994, Oe was studying French Literature at Tokyo University, where he did his graduate thesis on Jean-Paul Sartre. It's no surprise then that many of Oe's works deal with various forms of existential crisis. Nip the Buds, which is an exploration of innocence confronting the tragic realities of experience, fits this profile. Nip the Buds if often described as a Japanese Lord of the Flies. In it, 15 unloved and unwanted reformatory boys are

The lost boys disease. Rabbits caught in the headlights and there will be no more tricks disease. Dogs humping legs fall right off disease. Roaches who might be indestructible for better or for worse disease. But who are the roaches (for better, or for worse)? The Japanese reform school boys or the contributing to my already bad image of hateful villagers types? Indestructible, anyway. (We could see who scurried away when the lights come back on.)The book blurb lies. The boys don't try to build

Four stars is "really liked it". I didn't really like this book, but it is a four star book, so here we go.Have you ever read a book or watched a movie that you knew wasnt going to end well, but for some reason you stuck with it?

You know it, but youre going to stand here and watch.Thats this entire

Kenzaburo Oe won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994. This is his first novel, published when he was 23. It is based on his experiences as a child growing up on a remote Japanese island during World War II. When I read the book last November, I was going through a period of reading about WWII from the Japanese point of view, for which I was glad. It opened my eyes and mind, helping me to shake off some of my high school history teachings.The kids in this story are from a reform school and

Kenzaburo Oe is a writer who always leads me to cinematic analogies-- David Lynch and Takashi Miike, primarily-- so I'm gonna make another.What if you took the ragtag boys of The 400 Blows, and transferred them to the ruins of 1940s Japan? What if you added enough desperate gay sex in hovels to make Jean Genet blush, occupying soldiers, prison slave labor, fascist remnants, girls with their mothers' corpses, down-and-out Koreans trapped in Japan, and descriptions of flaccid penises?You'd have

"Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" is the first novel written by Kenzaburo Oe at the young age of 23 (but then again you probably already knew this).The novel is a harsh insight into the world of World War 2 Japan, and provides a deeply introspective satire and criticism of this Japan.The stories protagonist an unnamed early adolescent boy is the engine of the story, propelling it forward through beautiful descriptions and anecdotes on japan at the time. A reformatory boy, being evacuated to the
