(that’s 5 Os in “moon”) —— This powerful and tragic novel vividly paints life in a nation in social and moral crisis. 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 that pervades so much of the modern world. —— Q: Why are my prices so low? A: I want to give these items the best chance at getting a second life! I have zero interest in making a profit, so am charging as low as I can to cover operating costs. All I ask is that you cover shipping :)
