The Flowers of Buffoonery by Osamu Dazai
3.0
when the flower is aa buffoon
i enjoyed this book, but was a little disappointed about the plot. i was expecting something more along the lines of the writing style of no longer human, as it is directly connected to it, but it seemed a bit more light and comical (hence the "buffoonery" in the title i guess). it joked about the topics that oba yozo dealt with in no longer human, giving it a more light-hearted feeling, as if yozo was trying to reject those feelings and hide them away in this book. overall, i liked this book and the airy feel of it, even though i'd expected a more heavy premise.
