	Bruce Suttmeier: Stanford Research Communication Program
		These writers, Oe Kenzaburo, Kaiko Takeshi and Oda Makoto, all of whom were children at the end of WWII, explored how war memories could and couldn't be represented in late 1960s Japan.
		In particular, I focus on their broad critique of “visual experience,” arguing that their skepticism toward stories relying on “what people saw” reveals a larger concern for the ethical, political and aesthetic implications of remembering and writing about the war.
		My dissertation offers a close reading of the novels and essays of Oe, Kaiko, and Oda produced between 1965 and 1970 in order to tie their, at times, obsessive concern with “seeing” to this incomplete mode of integrating the past.

	A MAN WITH NO TALENTS
		It is precisely this outsider stance, however, at once dispassionate yet deeply engaged, that caught the eye of Japanese readers.
		The book was published in Japan in 2000 after Oyama had submitted his manuscript—on a lark, he confesses—for one of Japan’s top literary awards, the Kaiko Takeshi Prize.
		Although he was astounded actually to win the award, Oyama remained in character and elected to preserve the anonymity that has freed him from all social bonds and obligations.

		But excessive minutiaevisual and auditorydescribing the seamy life of Saigon and Cholon during the Vietnam War mars the potentially fascinating "Festivities by the River." The title story refers to a sociological category of men who unaccountably disappear and assume a new life elsewhere.
		Kaiko (Into a Black Sun) is an observant, speculative writer whose impressive skills seem somewhat cramped in the short story genre.

		In "The Amazing Spider-man" one of the running gags while Peter Parker was in high school was that Aunt May was always trying to set him up with Mary Jane, the niece of Anna Watson who lived next door.

	Amazon.fr : Darkness In Summer : Livres en anglais (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Reunited in 1968, a Japanese man and woman share a decade of accumulated expatriate angst in West Germany during a sensual reverie of many weeks' length, pursuing sexual hunger to the hilt but finding, at best, a sad satiety.
		"My body sags under the mere weight of my internal monologues, and it is beyond the capacity of my feet to carry it." Kaiko's lushly sensuous version of existential despair takes itself so seriously that unintentionally comic moments intrude, especially in breathily lofty dialogue.
		Though striking in its evocation of physical detail and devotion to despondency, the novel lacks the energy and art needed to animate a view of life as abject anticlimax.

		Over the years the Majestic has hosted myriad royals and heads of state, and authors like Graham Greene and Kaiko Takeshi.
