"I like Dazai a lot." -- Wong Kar-Wai
"Dazai offers something permanent and beautiful." -- The New York Times Book Review
"It is here that themes explored throughout the series – identity’s abnegation under the weight of art and history, the attendant wish for an alternative that fails to arrive – appear in their most unvarnished form." -- J.W. McCormack - The New Left Review
"[An] impressive demonstration of Dazai’s psychological insight." -- Andrew Martin - The New York Times
