honeyvanitea 's review for:
The Setting Sun
by Osamu Dazai
Before you read this book it’s (in my opinion) quite important to educate yourself a bit about pre- and post ww2 Japan and what role the aristocrats played there since the book pretty much revolves around post ww2 Japanese aristocrats and their downfall.
An important book about an interesting time period.
It’s unraveling the struggles of a changing society and structure, the remnants of war but at the same time personal and universal baggages like love, illness and death.
I was also glad to read something from Dazai that ended on a more hopeful note with a Protagonist that is not giving up, unlike most of his other protagonists.
