About this listen

Essentially the start of Dazai's career, Schoolgirl gained notoriety for its ironic and inventive use of language. Now it illuminates the prevalent social structures of a lost time, as well as the struggle of the individual against them—a theme that occupied Dazai's life both personally and professionally. This new translation preserves the playful language of the original and offers the listener a new window into the mind of one of the greatest Japanese authors of the 20th century.

Really vivid and consuming description of the thoughts of a grieving schoolgirl. I finished the story in one sitting as the writing flows so well, and it is beautifully read.

Great narrator and story
