![]() ![]() This problem is slightly overcome the prologue and the epilogue. I have mixed feelings about this approach, on the one hand it gets to the point pretty quickly without frustating the reader with unnecessary details on the other hand it dictates exactly what the reader needs to feel about Yozo. ![]() There isn't a lot of dialogue and it reads a lot like an essay. If you don't like first person narrators who go into great lenght you may want to skip this, then again it is only 177 pages long. The novel is narrated in first person and much of what the protagonist feels is is told rather than shown. The novel is divided into three notebooks. "A lonely modern man"- Natsume Soseki described himself with those words but I think that they are as true for Osamu Dazai and the protagonist of Dazai's semi-autobiographical novel. ![]()
