Story6
Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai’s NO LONGER HUMAN narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. His attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a “clown” to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.

Story0
Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. Ozamu Dazai died, a suicide, in 1948. But the influence of his book has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese language, and his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.

Story0
In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai’s life mirrored his art, and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame, and falls again. Addiction, debt, shame, and despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death, and yet despite all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an almost fanatical honesty to his writing.

Story0
Essentially the start of Dazai's career, Schoolgirl gained notoriety for its ironic and inventive use of language. Now it illuminates the prevalent social structures of a lost time, as well as the struggle of the individual against them—a theme that occupied Dazai's life both personally and professionally. This new translation preserves the playful language of the original and offers the listener a new window into the mind of one of the greatest Japanese authors of the 20th century.

Story1
The Flowers of Buffoonery opens in a seaside sanitarium where Yozo Oba—the narrator of No Longer Human at a younger age—is being kept after a failed suicide attempt. While he is convalescing, his friends and family visit him, and other patients and nurses drift in and out of his room. Against this dispiriting backdrop, everyone tries to maintain a lighthearted, even clownish atmosphere: playing cards, smoking cigarettes, vying for attention, cracking jokes, and trying to make each other laugh.

Zijn ouders zijn altijd afwezig en hij heeft moeite contact met leeftijdsgenoten te maken. De wereld om hem heen kan hij niet begrijpen. In zijn kinderjaren besluit Yozo de clown uit te hangen; alleen zo hoeft hij nooit gesprekken aan te gaan en zijn emoties onder ogen te zien. Tijdens zijn studententijd zoekt hij zijn heil in drugs, drank en seks. Zijn pogingen relaties op te bouwen met vrouwen lopen elke keer op niets uit.

Una historia tan mágica como fabulosa, tan lúcida como pertinente, que sin duda influenció en cierta manera La vida es bella de Roberto Benigni. Tokyo, 1945. Mientras las bombas caen sobre la ciudad, un padre lee en voz alta un libro de cuentos para sus hijos, mientras adereza las historias con todo tipo de fantasías surgidas de su imaginación; fantasías más cercanas a la realidad de lo que están viviendo y a la naturaleza humana.

In Gezeichnet, dem meisterhaften Roman von Osamu Dazai, navigieren wir durch die zutiefst persönlichen Aufzeichnungen von Yozo, einem Mann, der sich von der Menschheit entfremdet fühlt. Dieser introspektive Rückblick auf ein Leben voller Missverständnisse und Fehlinterpretationen lädt uns ein, die Facetten der menschlichen Existenz zu betrachten, die oft im Verborgenen liegen. Mit feinsinnigem Witz und einer beklemmenden Offenheit erkundet Dazai die Dunkelheit, die sich hinter der Fassade des Lächelns verbirgt.
