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.
