DESCRIPTION

The Beggar Student – A Captivating Tale by Osamu Dazai

For fans of “No Longer Human”, Osamu Dazai delivers another darkly mesmerizing masterpiece in “The Beggar Student”. This compelling work of literary fiction explores the small redemptions of being a self-loathing, struggling writer, blending satire, intellect, and existential despair in Dazai’s signature style.

A fictionalized version of Osamu Dazai, a writer in his thirties, is overwhelmed with regret after mailing his publisher an awful manuscript. Lost in a haze of shame, he wanders through a suburban Tokyo park, where he meets a high-school dropout. Their intellectual clash takes an unexpected turn when Dazai, against all reason, agrees to perform as the live narrator of a film screening in the boy’s place.

So unfolds the madcap adventure of “The Beggar Student”, a story where destitution holds a peculiar charm, and truth emerges in the battle of wits. With settings reminiscent of the popular anime Bungo Stray Dogs and themes that echo “No Longer Human”, this novella captures Osamu Dazai at his most sardonic and introspective. A must-read for lovers of literary fiction and those fascinated by the enigmatic mind of Japan’s legendary author.
