intimacy plus dazai is one of my favourite things
#kat rambles#it's just especially with Dazai intimacy and softness are so so precious it's like it melts me#the internal conflict one can write about as a result is delicious. the tiny behavioural gestures that suggest hesitancy mm#on a side note it's actually quite interesting when one compares the sense of intimacy Dazai-sensei creates in his writing with bsd#Dazai-sensei is in a way intimate with his readers yet remains an ironic distance the tone and the way he writes definitely invites the#readers to engage with him#he doesn’t give the whole truth and I think it's really interesting from the translator's introduction I read yesterday is that Dazai#almost teases his readers with details he brings up something very briefly in one text then elaborates it somewhat in another but doesn’t#reveal everything and it's something I almost forget as someone who as understood at least somewhat of his biography... most readers at the#actual time do not have that luxury#whereas bsd establishes dazai in an almost distanced way#you never see from his eyes his pov his thoughs#his character arc is seen entirely from other people's backstories and he is only ever seen from other people's ppv#*pov#so actually thinking about it both of them kind of establish and bring details about dazai into light in a slow way#almost teasing the readers to continue diving deeper#I just find it fascinating how Dazai-sensei himself and Bsd chose to present 'Dazai'#from a direct quote from The Saga of Dazai Osamu: He is extraordinarily revealing it appears
at first glance; and yet#unless you have been been following the course of his
argument through years of time and dozens of journals#he does not reveal
too much#to you at any one time#food for thought I guess?#because it is actually a really interesting experience having seen bsd dazai then interacting with Dazai-sensei's writings where he seems#so revealing and confessional and open#maybe I need to adapt some of this to my writing🤔#might delete this when I'm back from homework
