Pandora's Box by Osamu Dazai
The war is over. Japan is defeated. As his country rebuilds, a young man must fight disease and rebuild his life. He will start at a peculiar sanatorium, where everyone gets a nickname, and where he is surrounded by an odd assortment of patients and caregivers.
Osamu Dazai was a leading Japanese modern fiction writer who wrote in the genre of the I novel. His work reflected his troubled life, but Pandora's Box is one of his optimistic novels.
Osamu Dazai (1909-1948) is largely considered as one of the most prominent players in postwar Japanese literature and is usually regarded as one of the most highly valued authors of contemporary Japan. Contemporaries remembered him for his diverse lifestyle, imaginative use of words, and several suicide attempts, the last of which was successful in 1948. No Longer Human and The Setting Sun, his two main books, are still widely read and leave a vivid legacy for one of Japan's best writers.
