THE SETTING SUN - OSAMU DAZAI DONALD KEENE GEBU...

This powerful novel of a nation in social and moral crisis was first published by New
Directions in 1956. Set in the early postwar years  The Setting Sun probes the destructive
effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence
of Osamu Dazai's novel has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese
language  and his heroine  Kazuko  a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class  a
symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.
