  2. Just saw a really wonderful review for Retrogression that lifted my spirits!

    "...you can clearly feel the translator's dedication and willingness to portray Dazai in the right way..."

  4. Retrogression is Amazon's #1 new release for Japanese literature! That's incredible, I didn't expect to top any bestseller lists or anything like that, I know Dazai isn't exactly obscure but I didn't think people were going to be THAT interested in reading his diaries! 🥹💛

  5. I have two bits of exciting news today, first of all: A cover reveal for Retrogression!

    Secondly: I'm not dead! Or at least, according to Amazon, who wanted confirmation of the 'date of death' of the translator. Sorry to disappoint, however this does mean that I now have a pre-order link for the ebook version!

  6. Human Lost by Dazai Osamu is now up and available to read for free on Yobanashi Café.

    A candid account of his time in Musashino Hospital, it was the first time Dazai used the term 'no longer human' and includes words scribbled on the walls of his cell.

  7. #Dazai scrawled much of his original diary entries which later became 'Human Lost' on whatever he could find (including walls, medical reports, and a Bible). That same Bible was only found recently and put on display in a museum, and it has *more* poems in it than in Human Lost...

    ...Which I have translated and added in a footnote. Does this mean I can say I have included long lost, only recently rediscovered, never-before-seen material? 🤔

  8. I am very excited to have one of my Dazai translations featured on Asymptote's Translation Tuesday!

    "A sensitive college flunker enacts sweet, obscure revenge in this excellent short story by Osamu Dazai... Major credit must go to Laurie Raye for rendering Dazai’s Japanese in a vivid, sparking English."

  9. "His talent is fully deserving of our patience because it is thoroughly worthy of our respect."

    The latest from Yobanashi Café, a translation of Satō Haruo's defence of his rejection of Dazai for the first Akutagawa Prize, can be found here: yobanashicafe.wordpress.com/20

  10. "Just tell me what day to come and when, neither heavy snow nor pouring rain could keep me from your door."

    Dazai's second letter to Satō Haruo begging for the Akutagawa Prize is now up on Yobanashi Café:

  12. CW: Mention of historic drug use

    Shout out to that time when, high on morphine, Dazai Osamu saw slenderman. Or, slenderboy.

  13. CW: Famous suicide, death

    This is going to sound silly but, after translating a lot of the correspondence between #Dazai and Haruo Sato in date order I reached the final 'letter' I had planned: Sato's eulogy for Dazai. And for a moment, I forgot he was dead, and had to take a breath.

    Up until that point I'd been reading him say he wanted to die, but also that he wanted to live, and imagining it to be a real battle the outcome of which wasn't yet known. I was rooting for him.

  14. Happy birthday, Osamu #Dazai! This time last year I was able to share a few short stories of his I had translated, this year I am delighted to say that I am publishing my first book of translations, Retrogression - a study of Dazai’s early attempt at the Akutagawa prize.

    All four short stories will be released into the public domain, free to read, whereas the book will contain a few extras such as the letters, translator’s notes, biographies and references.

  15. Satō Haruo on #Dazai Osamu:

    "He has the kind of romantic spirit of a selfish, good-for-nothing wastrel, but more than that, he has let this seep deep down into the very marrow of his being. The uninhibited yet fragile self flows out of control, and it is the lot in life of this particular variety of man to continually contemplate himself until his self-awareness becomes intertwined with his bones."

  17. I was able to read 75 books this year, though it doesn't feel like that much! My to-read pile is still ever-growing. Short summaries of the top 3 to have the most impact on me:

    1. No longer Human by Osamu #Dazai (truly life-changing read, if a little depressing)

    2. Heaven Official's Blessing #tgcf (What can I say? Mo Xiang Tong Xiu is a genius)

    3. #Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (When humanity's days are over, what is an android to do? Make coffee, and watch the world go by)
