Unsere Bewertung

During the course of the story, the anonymous narrator finds three photographs and three notebooks written by Oba Yozo, which trace his decline from a student to a morphine addict.

Throughout the book, he tells the story of his moral, physical, and emotional degradation as well as his descent into the shady world of crime, suicides, prostitutes, alcohol, and morphine. In his writing, Yozo shares all the thoughts, fears, and ideas he hides from the world behind a "clownish mask" of cheeriness and wittiness.

He is deeply alienated from everyone around him, and his daily existence is plagued by the feelings of not belonging, not being able to show others his real self, and not being able to discover his true self, for himself.

"Something impure, dark, reeking of the shady character always hovers above me."

Über die Autorin/den Autor

Dazai, OsamuKeene, DonaldÜbersetzung

Osamu Dazai was born in 1909 into a powerful landowning family of northern Japan. A brilliant student, he entered the French department of Tokyo University in 1930, but later boasted that in the five years before he left without a degree, he had never attended a lecture. Dazai was famous for confronting head-on the social and moral crises of postwar Japan before he committed suicide by throwing himself into Tokyo´s Tamagawa Aqueduct. His body was found on what would have been his 39th birthday. Donald Keene, the author of dozens of books in both English andJapanese as well as the famed translator of Dazai, Kawabata, and Mishima, was thefirst non-Japanese to receive the Yomiuri Prize for Literature.
