About this listen
This novel by Osamu Dazai, published in 1947, is about the life of a poet whose personality has collapsed, as told by his wife. It features an optimistic and strong-willed wife who is unhappy with her husband's unwillingness to settle down at home but still harbors dreams of a new family.
The story is set in gloomy Tokyo in the aftermath of the war, but it still contains a sense of humor. After reading it, the reader will probably be left with a wry smile and something that stings in their heart.
