REVISE

The following report, Ōe Kenzaburō and Sheep, was the first paper I wrote after returning to Berkeley as a graduate student in the fall of 1972. I wrote the report for a course on reading Japanese fiction in Japanese, taught by Frank T. Motofuji, who had published an English translation of "Ningen no hitsuji" (人間の羊) as "Sheep" rather than "Human sheep".
