人間失格

Credits: 太宰治 (author)

Summary

Three notebooks left by a man who has never understood other people tell how he hid behind the mask of a clown and slid through drink, drugs, women and a failed double suicide. Dazai Osamu's novel of 1948, finished shortly before his own death, is among the most widely read confessions in modern Japanese literature. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
