太宰治短篇小說集

內容簡介

「太宰治的自我中心悲觀主義,與當下文化潮流中的**『喪文化』**以及各時代青少年的內心世界有機地契合。」—安德魯.馬丁(Andrew Martin),《紐約時報》

「…譯者奧布萊恩(O'Brien)表現出色,他樸實無華的語言運用讓太宰治筆下充滿黑色幽默卻又令人不安的時刻得以展現。」—《亞洲書評》

太宰治以其小說《人間失格》和《斜陽》最為人所知,同時他也是一位備受讚譽的短篇小說家,擅長嘗試多種風格,並在每部作品中展現出精緻的幽默感、對人類處境的寬廣同情,以及驚人的文學天賦。這本選集收錄了二十篇故事,其中包括:

  • 《回憶》:一篇自傳體故事,太宰治回顧了自己的童年和青春期片段,呈現他與家人的關係,以及他傾向內省和自我戲劇化的特質。

  • 《關於衣裝》:一部充滿喜劇色彩的傑作,太宰治探討了時尚對他的影響,以及這如何關聯到他那可悲的自我形象

  • 《窮人自有骨氣》:這篇故事改寫自18世紀滑稽小說大師井原西鶴的作品,講述了一位生活在貧困中的落魄武士

  • 《槌聲》:一個以第二次世界大戰中東京被徹底摧毀後重建為背景的愛情故事。

  • 還有其他十六篇故事!

這些故事時而詼諧、時而諷刺、時而內省、時而神祕、時而尖酸,完整描繪了一位才華橫溢的作家,他曾多次試圖結束自己的生命,最終得償所願。譯者詹姆斯.奧布萊恩(James O'Brien)撰寫的導言,介紹了太宰治的人生背景,並闡明了本書中的故事,無論是自傳性還是虛構的,都有助於讀者理解這位日本最偉大的作家之一。


"Dazai's brand of egoistic pessimism dovetails organically with the emo chic of this cultural moment and with the inner lives of teenagers of all eras." —Andrew Martin, The New York Times

"… translator O'Brien excels, his unembellished use of language allowing the comically dry but fraught moments of Dazai's prose to flourish." —Asian Review of Books

Best-known for his novels No Longer Human and The Setting Sun, Dazai was also an acclaimed writer of short stories, experimenting with a wide variety of styles and bringing to each work a sophisticated sense of humor, a broad empathy for the human condition and a tremendous literary talent. The twenty stories in this collection include:

  • Memories — An autobiographical tale in which Dazai relates episodes from his own childhood and adolescence, showing his relationship with his family and his tendency towards introspection and self-dramatization


  • On the Question of Apparel — A comic tour-de-force in which Dazai examines the hold that fashion has over him and how it relates to his own pathetic self-image


  • A Poor Man's Got His Pride — A retelling of a story by 18th-century master of burlesque fiction Ihara Saikaku, about a fallen samurai who lives in poverty


  • The Sound of Hammering — A love story set against the backdrop of the rebuilding of Tokyo after the city was totally destroyed during World War Two


  • And sixteen other stories!


By turns hilarious, ironic, introspective, mystical and sarcastic, these stories present a fully rounded portrait of a talented writer who tried several times to take his own life and ultimately succeeded. An introduction by translator James O'Brien gives the background to Dazai's life and shows how the stories in this book, whether autobiographical or fictional, contribute to an understanding of one of Japan's greatest writers.

**Recommended for readers 16 years & up. Not intended for high school classroom use due to adult content.**

作者介紹

Osamu Dazai (1909-1948) was the pen name of Shuji Tsushima, the tenth of eleven children born to a wealthy landowner and politician in the far north of Japan. Dazai studied French literature at the University of Tokyo, but never received a degree. He first attracted attention in 1933 when magazines began to publish his work. Between 1930 and 1937, he made three suicide attempts, a subject he deals with in many of his short stories. Despite his troubled life and rebellious spirit, Dazai wrote in simple and colloquial style, conveying his personal torments through literature. Dazai's life ended early in a double suicide with a married lover.
