Dazai's exceptional personal look at depression in post-war Japan By Zachary This is one of the most
famous books in Japanese literature, and for good reason. It's an in-depth and very personal look at
one man's neurosis; it is widely assumed to be Dazai's fictionalized autobiography (think of a more
antiquated version of Philip K. Dick's VALIS, replacing some of the schizoid delusions and
hallucinations with deep despair and depression). I won't just summarize the book, because Amazon
already has a short summary. I will recommend it to anyone who struggles to understand
depression, trauma, alcoholism, and suicide. On the flip side, if those things upset or distress you
you may not wish to read this. It is an excellent example of how depression can feel, how it breaks a
person down, how a man can feel completely useless in society, and how some people can choose to
face these things in ways that others don't understand. It's an important and powerful work both as
a look into the psychology of one man and as a cultural touchstone for post-war Japan. Oda, the
narrator and stand-in for Dazai hi
