About This Novel
Dazai Osamu uses his suicide experience to analyze his true self to readers. When Osamu Dazai was twenty-one, he met a married woman in a Ginza cafe. Three days after living together, they took sleeping pills and committed suicide by drowning in Kamakura. As a result, Osamu Dazai was rescued, but the 18-year-old woman died. Osamu Dazai was therefore charged with "assisting suicide". Although he was later found not to be prosecuted, he created "Clown's Flower" based on his guilty conscience of leaving a woman to die alone after making an appointment to die in love. The protagonist Ye Zang Oba in "The Clown Flower" has the same name as the protagonist in "The Unfit". It describes Ye Zang's failure to die for love and then enters a nursing home. However, unlike the Ye Zang in "The Unfit" who has low self-esteem, cowardice, and decadence, the Ye Zang in "The Clown Flower" is young, impulsive and proud. In this work, the author analyzes the mental journey of the protagonist Oba Yezo, who appears to be passive and decadent but actually seeks to survive in a desperate situation in his future pinnacle work "Disqualification in the World", and also reveals many secrets about writing.

For Osamu Dazai, there is no good or evil in this world, only like or hate. Life is not necessarily unpredictable, it is nothing more than comedy or tragedy. Comedy provides solace, tragedy provides redemption. Both are timeless spiritual elixirs that have healed many sad and lonely souls.
