The Setting Sun
Osamu Dazai, Donald Keene (translation)This powerful novel of a nation in social & moral crisis was first published by New Directions in 1956. Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects of war & the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. Ozamu Dazai died, a suicide, in 1948.
But the influence of his book has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese language, & his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.
