A two-volume set of Kazuo Dan's literary work, "The Person in the Burning House." Shincho Bunko edition. Ichiro commits theft. Jiro is bedridden with paralysis. Yata is still toddling. Fumiko eats chicken feed and cries like a chick. Satoko is just born. The wife, seeing her husband's dissipation, extravagance, and mania, threatens to leave home—even if my body is in a burning house, I want to be wildly liberated in the midst of people's bustle, following the natural journey of the heart. A record of a bold soul, sung through a magnificent deviation. "Did Papa come back?" "Yes, he came back." "Won't he go anywhere anymore?" "Yes, he won't go anywhere." "Will he go anywhere again?" "Yes, he will go anywhere." Women, alcohol, endless wandering. Ignoring his crumbling home, the novelist Kazuo Katsura's aimless profligacy intensifies. However, upon the death of Jiro, a sudden loneliness surrounds him. A long, obsessive posthumous work completed on his deathbed, taking twenty years. The final work of Kazuo Dan, a writer of the Buraiha (literally "unruly faction") who loved travel, alcohol, and women, and wandered as his soul dictated, was fully adapted into a film by director Kinji Fukasaku. <Awarded the Yomiuri Literature Prize and the Japan Literature Award> Offered for sale to organize the bookshelf.
