This Week in the Magazine: Murakami and Oe - The New Yorker

This week, the magazine features the work of two Japanese fiction writers: Haruki Murakami and Kenzaburo Oe. Oe writes a Tokyo Postcard on the implications of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, calling the construction of nuclear reactors in Japan a betrayal of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles—”don’t possess, manufacture, or introduce into Japanese territory nuclear weapons”—and of those who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
