About This Novel
The author of this novel is Dazai Osamu, who is known as Japan's three major youth novelists together with Natsume Soseki and Murakami Haruki. The novel takes Lu Xun, who studied in Japan in the early 20th century, as the subject. An old doctor who practiced medicine in a village in northeastern Japan reminisced about his interactions with his classmate Lu Xun and his exchanges with Mr. Fujino, the professor at Sendai Medical College "forty years ago". It brilliantly depicts the arrogant and smiling young Lu Xun despite being "tone deaf".
