Ko’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for A Personal Matter

A Personal Matter by Kenzaburō Ōe

Every time you stand at a crossroads of life and death, you have two universes in front of you; one loses all relation to you because you die, the other maintains its relation to you because you survive in it.
