The female student

Overview of the book: In this book, Osamu Dazai dives into the mind of a sixteen-year-old girl living a boring ordinary life, narrating her feelings and different concepts about things like loneliness, happiness, love, family, aging, and so on. Dazai succeeds in brilliantly embodying her character and presents her gloomy thoughts and suffering, which represent Dazai's own ideas and suffering, and his deep philosophy wrapped in his severe depression and his strong hatred towards society and its concepts.
