Friction between the Public and Private Self
Politics and Sex
The Solemn Tightrope Walkers If we fail to see ourselves reflected in society often we become outcasts or are labeled as deviant.The images of Seventeen and J are not reflexive.Therefore, by acts of violence and sexual molestation, they superimpose their images on a world which refusesto see. With Seventeen and J, Oedepicts the transmution of post-warJapan.This is cleverly evidenced by J's truncated name and the attitudeof Seventeen's father.While the political aspect of Japan is moreapparent in Seventeen, the politics in J are presented in a more abstractlevel. They have each architected an inner world populated with theshadows of despair, doubt, and disgust. Oe lets us become voyeurs of theprivate and sometimes painful world of these two young men who areself-described "others". Seventeen and J are both "Solemn TightropeWalkers".Yet, what they are trying to balance is their existence in aworld which they despisewith a raison detre.This is demonstrated bySeventeen's fanatical involvement with a right-wing political group and J'sflirtation with being a "chaikan". These two novels should be read byanyone who gives a damn or have stopped.
Two Novels: J and Seventeen. The firstperson liked Seventeen better.He thought the masturbation scene inSeventeen was masterful.I thought so too.The scene is supposedly thefirst masturbation scene in a Japanese novel, and it was enthrallinglydetailed.Seventeen was a good depiction of a boy coming of age, and hisconfused entry into the world of Japanese politics.The second person towhom I gave the book, loved the part in which the protogonist of Seventeenkicks his sister in the face, breaking her glasses. As the first personto whom I gave the book liked Seventeen better than J, the second person towhom I gave the book liked J better than Seventeen.I too liked J better. J was a more vivid depiction of Japan and its contemporary personage's.Jis written in two parts.The first part of the book takes place in thecountry, it presents J as a person confused about sex and his ownsexuality, and at some point he even comes across as homosexual.Thesecond part shows him in the city.He no longer contents himself with theanswers life grants him, he decides to go out into the world and chancefinding the sexual answers he desires by taking action.He becomes a"chikan," a sexual predator, who rides trains looking for hisnext victim (he exposes his naked parts to innocent train passengers,usually young school girls heading to school or returning home).Ridingthe trains he meets two persons with whom he will develop a great bond. This novel introduces some of the most memorable characters in fiction.Inthe world of Japanese literature Oe Kenzaburo ranks with Saikaku Ihara,Yasunari Kawabata, and Mishima Yukio. J is about sex, it is about thepain of being a sadist-the suffering a sadist has to go through because heis miss understood.Reading this book, and seeing the unfairness in it, isenough to make a person question the way we view people, and society forthat matter. This book is essential for anyone who's interested in sex,or is just a straight out pervert.The first person to whom I gave thebook was an erudite, whom I felt needed to read the book to be furtherlearnt in literature.The second person was one who wanted me to suggestsome books for him to read, for he wanted to be well-read.I felt thisbook was essential for such a goal. ...
