About This Book
The novella that first propelled Dazai into the literary elite of post-war Japan. 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 reader a new window into the mind of one of the greatest Japanese authors of the 20th century.
