1969 novel by the Nobel laureate Kenzaburo Oe about a character named Bird who is having something of life crisis, complicated by the birth of brain damaged son. He deals with it by avoiding his wife and having an affair. Dark, yet ironic, you can see Oe's influence on another Japanese master: Haruki Murakami. Other good Oe books: "Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" and "Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness."
