KoBo Abe(1924-1993)is the leading modernist writer in post-war Japanese literature.At the same time,he had a profound influence on Japanese literature after the war.As a young man,Abe accepted the western modern literary theory and created with the grotesque and surreal avant-garde techniques.He also focused on the common living situation and spiritual confusion of people in urban society.This kind of novel and unique form of expression and writing content created his own style of writing,breaking the Japanese literary tradition of recording life in a subtle and graceful way since the Edo period.His literary creation lasted from the late 1940 s to the 1990 s.In terms of the historical background,from the chaos of the post-war Japanese society,the economic take-off and steady growth,to the stagnation period of the 1980 s and 1990 s,it profoundly revealed that under the conditions of modern capitalist society,people are generally faced with loneliness,emptiness,vulnerability,self-identity crisis and other modern mental diseases,which are profound and unique.As his most famous masterpiece,the Woman in the Dunes,he gained a large number of readers' love all over the world.Compared with Kenzabur? ?e,Yukio Mishima,Haruki Murakami and other Japanese writers,the study of Abe's literature in China has not been fully carried out due to the late translation and introduction of Abe's literary works in China.Therefore,the study of Abe's classic representative works and his existentalist literary view are of positive significance.Under the influence of Sartre,Heidegger and other western existentialist scholars,Abe's literature has a strong existentialist color.As a representative work of the transition and maturity period of Abe's literature,the Woman in the Dunes,reflects his concern for the survival of individuals in the highly developed urban society,and reveals the absurdity of the society by depicting the protagonist's living situation,so as to further think about how to exist in the society and how to find self-consciousness.This paper is composed of three parts: introduction,body and conclusion.In the introduction,first of all,the introduction of the his life story and representative works;Second,collect and analyze the study of Abe both at home and abroad;Finally,the purpose and significance of this paper are put forward.Main text is composed of four chapter discusses.The first chapter mainly starts with the life story of Abe,combines his tortuous and wandering life experience with Japan's post-war social background and literary situation,as well as the spread of existentialism represented by Sartre in Japan,and analyzes the acceptance of existentialism of Abe from the perspective of Abe itself and the objective reality.The second chapter focuses on the existentialism of Abe in the representative work,the Woman in the Dunes,which accepts that Abe of the western existentialism did not fully support his literary creation with the theory of existentialism,and then combines with the reality of Japanese society to form his view of existence in the eastern perspective through his own understanding of existentialism.Through a series of changes in the protagonist's psychology and behavior,Abe tries to explain the survival crisis,self-identity crisis and deprivation of freedom in modern society,so as to call people's self-consciousness and make free choices.The third chapter compares the literary tradition of Japanese private fiction and analyzes Abe's acceptance of Sartre's theory of "intervention literature" and "situation drama".His personal style is also made up of his creation techniques which break through the representational characteristics of private life and the deformation of surrealism in the Japanese literary tradition.This form of artistic creation enables Abe to break through the bondage of traditional literatureThe last chapter further discusses Abe's influence on Japanese literature and Japanese modern and contemporary literature from the perspective of the resonance of Abe's times and the modernity innuendo of existentialism.It affirms the world writing characteristics of Abe public house and his contribution to the development of Japanese literature.
