(Pseudonym of Tsushima Shuji; Kanagi, 1909 - Tokyo, 1948) Japanese writer. Born from the disillusionment prevalent in his country after the end of World War II, Osamu Dazai's last novels expressed the feelings of a generation that had witnessed the collapse of their traditional values: The Setting Sun (1947), perhaps his most famous work, focuses on the decline of the Japanese nobility after the defeat in the war, while his last book, No Longer Human (1948), narrates in an autobiographical tone the frustration over the national debacle. Known for his ironic and somber wit and the brilliant fantasy of his novels and stories, his obsession with suicide and his constant search for a deeper truth would make him a cult figure among the young readers of his country.
