About this listen

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.

sometimes, happiness arrives a night too late

Every single line of this book hit me, there's no worse feeling to be known so well. I often had dreams that I went to school naked and everyone looked what is underneath me. I felt such terror and shame while reading dazai osamu because it feels like he knows what's underneath me.
