An Echo of Heaven defamiliarize the common perceptions of those who do not tally with the intellectual and physical mores of civilized cultures. The author attempts to modify entrenched sensibilities that too often tend to disregard the humanity of the misfortunates of the world who are tolerated only within a confined, detached social context. In a world less inclined towards compassion and understanding, the works of writers like Kenzaburo Oe are blessings in a sea of moral apathy and benightedness.
