Dazai, my man, what’s this? This is just a thinly veiled depression diary.
Kinda. It’s a story of a very, very disturbed young girl who is missing her late Father and trying to come into terms with growing up and being a woman, which she finds disgusting. But underneath it all, Dazai is kind of depression dumping.
But hey, the prose is still good, and it is a good guide on identifying which thoughts you have are coming from a bad place, because just about anything this poor girl says is coming from there, except the love for nature walks.
It’s is also an easy way to catch up with your reading goals, so Dazai gets a bonus point for that.
