A review by gsheffy
Self-Portraits by Osamu Dazai

this was a harder read than any of his novels. i think that was his intention, but i was still swept up by it. i think those of us who are so enraptured by dazai share his utterly impermeable self-awareness, and i wonder if that serves any purpose. i wonder if any of us would turn out better if we could be rid of it.
