Publisher's Synopsis
"Viron's Wife" includes eleven works by Osamu Dazai, among which "Viron's Wife", a late masterpiece, was remade into a movie and won the Best Director Award at the 33rd Montreal World Film Festival. Villon in the title of "Villon's Wife" refers to French medieval lyric poet François. Weirong, whose life was bohemian and exiled, is just like the image of Otani, the poet's husband in "Weirong's Wife". Perhaps in order to emphasize the absurdity in life, or to project his own depravity, Dazai used the name "Weirong" from the perspective of women, and compared the fortitude and perseverance of his wife to the cowardice and rogue of his husband. s work.
