What's with the Japanese and their deep-rooted sense of shame and loathing? I didn't find it relatable, but it was a good short piece.

به زبان خیلی ساده ای(البته خب قاعدتن ترجمه انگلیسی خوندم ولی خب مدل خیلی ساده ای) داشت زندگی روزمره یه آدم رو تعریف میکرد. آدمی که دپرشن داره, نه لزومن دپرشن حالا، زندگی رو به رنگی رنگی باقی افراد و با هیجانی که ازش توقع دارند ببینه نمی‌بینه.
دلیل معروفیت کتاب رو نمیدونم ساده و صریح بودنش بوده ، مدل نوشتارش به ژاپنی خیلی خاص بوده، یا تو اون برهه این مدلی نمینوشتن. شاید مدل اینکه بیوگرافی قاطی با تخیله جالب بوده. شاید بخاطر اینکه نویسنده بعدش خودشو کشته معروف شده اصلا؟
کلی از برداشت های انواع مختلفی که ازش (کتاب/خود دازای) شده رو دوست داشته‌م؛ ولی راستش خود کتاب رو خیلی دوست نداشتم. بدون نیومد ها. فرقی نداشت زیاد.
