Krátky popis
",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 Times",…
translator O'Brien excels, his unembellished use of language
allowing the comically dry but fraught moments of Dazai's prose to
flourish.", —Asian Review of BooksBest-known for his novels No
Longer Human and The Setting Sun, Dazai was also an acclaimed
writer of short stories, experimenting with a wide variety of
styles and bringing to each work a sophisticated sense of humor, a
broad empathy for the human condition and a tremendous literary
talent. The twenty stories in this collection include:Memories — An
autobiographical tale in which Dazai relates episodes from his own
childhood and adolescence, showing his relationship with his family
and his tendency towards introspection and self-dramatizationOn the
Question of Apparel — A comic tour-de-force in which Dazai examines
the hold that fashion has over him and how it relates to his own
pathetic self-imageA Poor Man's Got His Pride — A retelling of a
story by 18th-century master of burlesque fiction Ihara Saikaku,
about a fallen samurai who lives in povertyThe Sound of Hammering —
A love story set against the backdrop of the rebuilding of Tokyo
after the city was totally destroyed during World War TwoAnd
sixteen other stories!By turns hilarious, ironic, introspective,
mystical and sarcastic, these stories present a fully rounded
portrait of a talented writer who tried several times to take his
own life and ultimately succeeded. An introduction by translator
James O'Brien gives the background to Dazai's life and shows how
the stories in this book, whether autobiographical or fictional,
contribute to an understanding of one of Japan's greatest
writers.**Recommended for readers 16 years &,amp, up. Not
