About This Vintage 1970 Edition
"A Personal Matter" by Kenzaburo Oë is a significant work of postwar Japanese fiction, translated by John Nathan. This edition was published by Charles E. Tuttle Co. in Tokyo, 1970, and represents the second printing of the first Tuttle edition, initially released in 1969. Kenzaburo Oë, a Nobel laureate, is known for his profound exploration of personal and societal themes. This edition is distinct for its Japanese publication origin and its availability in English translation. The book delves into complex emotional and philosophical issues, reflective of Oë's unique narrative style. The absence of a dust jacket and the minor wear to the paperback cover suggest a well-preserved copy, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese literature.
