As a child he copes by acting the fool—mocking himself while entertaining others. As an adult he turns to alcohol, sex and drugs, which lead to his eventual self-destruction.Originally written in 1948 and based closely on Dazai's own life, the timeless and universal themes of social alienation, failure and one man's inner torture at his inability to feel like a normal human still resonate with young people everywhere, making this an enduring international classic. This contemporary translation will be welcomed by all fans of modern Japanese literature as well as by readers familiar with Osamu Dazai. After Soseki Natsume, Osamu Dazai is Japan's most popular writer. Dazai is enjoying a surge in interest among young people today thanks to the success of the manga, anime and film series Bungo Stray Dogs, whose protagonist, a detective named Osamu Dazai, is based on the real-life author."Dazai's brand of egoistic pessimism dovetails organically with the emo chic of this cultural moment and with the inner lives of teenagers of all eras." —Andrew Martin, The New York TimesLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 130mmAuthor: Osamu DazaiTranslator: Juliet Winters CarpenterContributor: Juliet Winters Carpenter (Translated by)Genre: FictionItem Weight: 198gSubtitle: A New TranslationRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
