This was an interesting charity shop find which piqued my interest since I have very patchy knowledge of Indian culture and the Hindu religion which are encompassed in this sprawling poem.

Silent Cry | Kenzaburo Oe

Mehso-so

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.
