Synopsis
In this semi-fictional chronicle, Kenzaburo Oe became friends with a professor named Marie Kuraki whose son--like Oe's--is severely brain-damaged. Kuraki's son, however, along with his brother, committed suicide. Rather than causing her to despair, this horrific event kindled in her an intense concern for humanity, and when she died prematurely at 45 her many good works inspired people to emulate her, and to consider her a kind of secular saint.

Industry Reviews
"In 'An Echo of Heaven', first published in Japan in 1989, the Oe of 'A Personal Matter' has matured and looks back on his younger self through the eroticized lens of a woman named Marie."
Nation - Zia Jaffrey (09/30/1996)

"It is brilliantly structured, taut and forceful and always engaging, but as an inquiry into faith it fails to satisfy and as a study in grief it is strangely unaffecting. It troubles the mind on many levels but it does not succeed in touching the heart."
Estes

"The strength of his book lies in the richness of thought that Oe brings to his examination of the ethical proposition, in the cascading ripples of meaning that he squeezes out of his theme of extreme emotional suffering, in the echoes that he sends through the chambers of the lettered heart."
Rouse

"Not a fully achieved work of fiction, but, still, an impressively dramatic specimen of the contemporary didactic novel, a genre that Oe has elevated by impressing upon it so powerfully his own personal history and sensibility.."
Kirkus Reviews (04/15/1996)
