Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age!
A novelist has been assembling since his son's childhood a private dictionary of the few words the boy uses, and finds in Blake's prophetic poems a vocabulary large enough to hold the definitions. Ten linked chapters move between the son's seizures, a term teaching in California, and the reading that keeps forcing the father to revise what he had written down. Ōe's fullest account of reading as a means of living with a life nobody chose.
