Like all good Japanese fiction, there are elements of Ōe Kenzaburō's own life weaved into THE SILENT CRY (万延元年のフットボール), from a couple dealing with a disabled child, to a childhood in Shikoku. The main narrative focuses on two brothers trying to grapple with their own relationship, as well as a family history that threatens to reveal itself just as their own lives are also beginning to unravel.

Having read and enjoyed A Personal Matter I imagined myself liking The Silent Cry more than I did. Oe deals with darker parts of life - struggle, misfortune, death and the proceeding ramifications. His works show a commendable honesty, giving voice to the negative emotions which we ourselves either never share or even block from our consciousness. A Personal Matter' had an inflection of humour, This Silent Cry is considerably starker relentless.
