Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects
of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial
society. Ozamu Dazai died, a suicide, in 1948. But the influence of
his book 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.
