This collection of previously unpublished work has been carefully chosen to present the most fully rounded portrait of Osamu Dazai, the tragic genius of 20th century Japanese literature. By turns hilarious, introspective, ironic, and mystical, these remarkable tales reveal the full range of Dazai's talents, now lost to the world thanks to his dissolute life and eventual suicide.
