Selected Stories And Sketches Dazai Osamu by Dazai Osamu instant download after payment.

The stories in this collection lend themselves readily to a personalist view of Dazai. This is so for the simple reason that they were chosen from the entire career, their principal continuity thus being the presence of a certain personality implied by the narrative manner, if not actually taking part in the action. Indeed, one of the main impulses behind thes e translations is the wish to show aside of Dazai's art hitherto obscured for non-Japanese readers by a lack of accessible translations from all but the final years of the author's life.

With at least one selection from each of the nine volumes of Dazai's mature writings, the translations divide into a number of story types. Inevitably the emphasis falls upon the memoir-like works, some of them a combination of episode and comentary covering a substantial part of the narrator's life, others more in the nature of anecdotal re-creations of brief adventures. The depiction of current events and conditions defines another subject genre in the Dazai canon.

The author usually selects a single mode of narration from his stock-in-trade, an exchange of letters for one of the two works from this genre included here, the quaint recollections of a one hundred yen note for the other. Neither of these stories incorporates the author or his persona in a substantial fashion.
