i like the book. depressing, but pretty true. i love yozo, because i hate him if you get what i mean. read the guy who talks about yozo being an unreliable narrator, their review is pretty on point.
i am here from trying to dig translations of nakahara chuuya's poems. because they had funny stories together i got interested in dazai's life and read this to try and understand a bit more of him. this book actually helped me cope with myself a lot after the initial depressing stage. it's strangely comforting.
