This is a collection of short pieces that span a decade. Like a lot of Dazai's output, the majority of these are again autobiographical in nature and confessional in tone, but in these more intimate pieces, the author assumed his own voice. Without the shield of fictional characterization, the self-reflexivity here is less dramatic, and kinder, but no less piercing and condemning. There are a couple of pieces that detailed his experience with the war, which gave shape to and contextualized some of his later novels for me in an enriching way. Overall, this collection is thoroughly enjoyable but it is probably most suited to hardcore Dazai fans who are interested in the man behind the myth.

Compilation of short stories
Better read if know Dazai more first as those are his little life episodes
Still holds his humorous style of writing

大多數的篇章，與其說是小說不如說是內心的剖析與獨白，寫他對於自己應該做為一個什麼樣的人，而在無能為力接近那個理想時，僅能喝悶酒麻痺自己，也寫戰爭、寫他對日本的看法及政治觀，〈美男子與香菸〉、〈眉山〉讀到他內心的細膩柔軟，〈東京八景〉和〈十五年間〉 ，太宰反覆翔實地把自己的經歷與想法交代清楚，對於光就文本脈絡覺得不踏實，必得參考人生事件的讀者而言，這一本是想瞭解太宰就絕對不能錯過的最貼近太宰內心的作品。
