The Setting Sun & No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai #TheSettingSun #NoLongerHuman #OsamuDazai #SanJose #RecycleBookstore

Satō Haruo on #Dazai Osamu:

"He has the kind of romantic spirit of a selfish, good-for-nothing wastrel, but more than that, he has let this seep deep down into the very marrow of his being. The uninhibited yet fragile self flows out of control, and it is the lot in life of this particular variety of man to continually contemplate himself until his self-awareness becomes intertwined with his bones."

Cada vez que alguna pasión individual o colectiva estaba por arrastrarlo, el sonido de un martillo lo anclaba a lo cotidiano. Así se salvaba de corrientes peligrosas, pero también lo ataba a un mundo plano, sin espíritu.

Ocho escenas de Tokio.

Relatos de oro molido.

Thanks, past me, I definitely know what you mean by "sheep book" 😑 Really appreciate your thorough referencing system in this difficult time.

“Before long he learned how to turn himself into a praying mantis as well, but this proved disappointing. There was nothing particularly fun about being a praying mantis.” Romanesque by #OsamuDazai.

Flowers of Buffoonery by #OsamuDazai is such a fun and fast (96 pages) read. Totally recommend.

Love my super cute japanese cat bookmark to go with my #OsamuDazai book. He has three more books being published this year in English (granted two of them are re translations of No Longer Human) not bad for being dead 75 years and being relatively unknown in the US.

I know how to live, #OsamuDazai
