Format:Taschenbuch
The book has a slow start and proceeds at a similar pace for most of its length. As the title suggests the lives of the two principal characters are quiet and have little impact on the world beyond their family. One of the six chapters is devoted to an analysis of a Russian art house movie. A French novelist with fascist leanings is discussed at similar length - and in sympathetic terms!
This description might sound dull, but for readers not put off by the paragraph above, this is a great novel, a stroll through the mind of one of the best novelists of the latter half of the twentieth century. The self-effacing narrator Ma-Chan and her handicapped musician brother Eeeyore are the main focus for the book's little dramas, but we learn as much, perhaps more, about the absent father (presumably a thinly disguised portrait of the Oe) - and many readers may feel that he is the principal character, albeit one who is observed from afar.
The meditations on Celine and Tarkovsky do not slow the book down: they are intriguing and drove me straight to the nearest bookshop selling the neglected French writer. The diversions to the family's home village; Ma-Chan's introspection and Eeeyore's piano lessons at the home of the Shigetos are all beautifully rendered by Oe. There are echoes of Shusaku Endo's novels and the gentle poetic films of Ozu. The villian is too crudely sketched, but this one of the few weaknesses in a great novel.

I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. Distinctive style and subject matter, never sentimental, always fresh.
Format:Taschenbuch
Though not lacking in sensationalism (several foiled molesters of young women), this "novel" like other recent Oe "fiction" bogs down in literary discussion (plus an endless discussion of a Russian film, "The Stalker"). I find the voice and interests of the narrator (Oe's daughter) implausible. The device does allow self-flagellation for the as-ever guilt-ridden author, and another angle for celebrating (sentimentalizing) his handicapped but musically gifted son, Haraki.
