Krátky popis
Bringing together novelist Osamu Dazai's best autobiographical
shorts in a single, slim volume, Self-Portraits shows the legendary
writer at his best?and his worst ",Art dies the moment it acquires
authority.", So said Japan's quintessential rebel writer Osamu
Dazai, who, disgusted with the hypocrisy of every kind of
establishment, from the nation's obsolete aristocracy to its
posturing, warmongering generals, went his own way, even when that
meant his death?and the death of others. Faced with pressure to
conform, he declared his individuality to the world?in all its
self-involved, self-conscious and self-hating glory. ",Art",, he
wrote, ",is 'I'.", In these short stories, collected and translated
by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai's life
mirrored his art and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from
grace, rises to fame and falls again. Addiction, debt, shame and
despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death and yet despite
all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an
almost fanatical honesty to his writing. And that has made him a
hero to generations of readers who see laid bare, in his works, the
painful, impossible contradictions inherent in the universal
commandment of social life?fit in and do as you are told?as well as
the possibility, however desperate, of defiance. Long out of print,
these stories will be a revelation to the legions of new fans of No
Longer Human, The Setting Sun and The Flowers of Buffoonery.
