Re: Osamu Dazai

Thank you.

I'm very glad if my translations have brought Dazai a little more of the attention he deserves.

I felt sure there was a good Peter Owen collection of Dazai's short stories, too, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. (I have a copy but not at my current address.)

Ah, no, I've found it. Looks like it wasn't Peter Owen, after all, though I have a feeling they did do something by Dazai. Here's the book I was thinking of:
