Synopsis "The Setting sun (New Directions Book)"

Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects of war and 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, and his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.

(Pseudónimo de Tsushima Shuji; Kanagi, 1909 - Tokio, 1948) Escritor japonés. Fruto del desencanto reinante en su país tras el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las últimas novelas de Osamu Dazai expresaron el sentir de una generación que había asistido al derrumbamiento de sus valores tradicionales: El sol poniente (1947), quizá su obra más famosa, se centra en la decadencia de la nobleza japonesa tras la derrota en la contienda, mientras que su último libro, Ya no humano (1948), narra en tono autobiográfico la frustración ante el descalabro nacional. Conocido por su ingenio irónico y sombrío y por la brillante fantasía de sus novelas y cuentos, su obsesión por el suicidio y su permanente búsqueda de una verdad ulterior lo convertirían en una figura de culto entre los lectores jóvenes de su país.
