K is a famous writer living in Tokyo with his wife and three children, one of whom is mentally disabled. K's wife confronts him with the information that this child, Eeyore, has been doing disturbing things -- behaving aggressively, asserting that he's dead, even brandishing a knife at his mother -- and K, given to retreating from reality into abstraction, looks for answers in his lifelong love of William Blake's poetry. As K struggles to understand his family and assess his responsibilities within it, he must also reevaluate himself -- his relationship with his own father, the political stances he has taken, the duty of artists and writers in society. A remarkable portrait of the inexpressible bond between this father and his damaged son, <i>Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age!</i> is the work of an unparalleled writer at his sparkling best.</div> 3002285 1983 Rouse Up, O Young Men of the New Age total:96|5:24|4:40|3:16|2:12|1:4| 96 356 152 10 5 0 false false Sun Jun 21 14:57:56 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 20:40:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 14:43:13 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 14:45:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 21 16:15:48 -0800 2008 Sun Apr 06 08:11:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 13 18:58:53 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 13 18:58:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 02 16:38:34 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 16:40:20 -0700 2009 1 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Aug 26 16:19:48 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 16:22:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 09:55:37 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 13:37:11 -0700 2009 The Road and Disgrace.
