Osamu Dazai
"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"--Page 4 of cover.

"It was good it just felt like a teen girl thinking very long very deep thoughts that I think I would have appreciated more if Id read it a second time. Good book it just takes a minute and the main character honestly reminded me of me. Just in the way that a teenage girl thinks was captured in a way that really took me back."
