Description
Nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche. Plagued by maddening anxiety and unable to understand the life of a human being, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute existence, wearing a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm in arm with death. Osamu Dazai’s immortal and supposedly autobiographical work of Japanese literature is adapted into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the novel’s text one line at a time, transforming Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is Ito’s ultimate artistic achievement, demonstrating that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.
