Kenzaburo Oe on 70th Anniv. of US Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

[John Bailey]

Always feels to me that the US never really worked over the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki on an artistic/cultural level the way German postwar
artists addressed their own nation's actions. Not unusual of course,
Japan's own actions in Manchuria are rarely addressed in fiction and
Australia is obsessed with romanticizing WWI and II. But am I missing a
great US work about the Hiroshima bombing that's equivalent to any of the
German greats?
