SYNOPSIS
This classic work of world literature by the 1994 Japanese Nobel laureate is a devastating and moving blend of memoir and fiction.
An uncanny blend of the real with the imagined, of memoir with fiction, A Quiet Life is narrated by Ma-chan, a twenty-year-old woman. Her father is a famous and fascinating novelist; her older brother, though severely brain-damaged, possesses an almost magical gift for musical composition; and her mother’s life is devoted to the care of them both.
Ma-chan and her younger brother find themselves emotionally on the outside of this oddly constructed nuclear family. But when her father accepts a visiting professorship from an American university, Ma-chan finds herself suddenly the head of the household and at the center of family relationships that "are movingly illuminated" (The New York Times) through Oe’s unique and unpredictable genius.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kenzaburo Oe
PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1994
Kenzaburo Oe nasceu em Ose, no Japão, a 31 de janeiro de 1935 e faleceu a 3 de março de 2023. Em 1954 licenciou-se em Literatura Francesa pela Universidade de Tóquio e, em 1957, começou a publicar os seus primeiros textos, em revistas literárias, sendo no ano seguinte distinguido com o Prémio Akutagawa para melhor conto. Nesse mesmo ano iniciou-se como romancista. Em 1964 publicou aquela que é considerada a sua obra mais importante, Não Matem o Bebé. Temáticas como o não conformismo, o choque cultural e o isolamento individual e social no Japão moderno são frequentes nos seus romances, ensaios e contos. Oe foi igualmente um forte opositor à energia nuclear. Em 1994, recebeu o Prémio Nobel da Literatura. Era considerado a mais importante voz da literatura japonesa contemporânea.
