KIKUCHI Ryou

Dazai Osamu was in despair when “Gyakkou,” his first Akutagawa Award nominee, was not selected. He was picked up by Hiroshi Kikuchi, the president of Bungeishunju, and taken to a share house he had built to support writers. There he meets Saneatsu Mushanokouji, Ango Sakaguchi, and Yasunari Kawabata, who was a critical critic of “Gyakkou”!? This is a comedy about famous writers of modern literature!
