📖 The Scoop
"Goodbye" (グッド・バイ) is an unfinished novella written shortly before Dazai’s death in 1948. It was intended to be a satire about post-war Japan, departing somewhat from the deeply melancholic tone of his previous works. The story follows Tajirō, a newspaper editor, who plans to sever ties with his many mistresses so he can start a new life. To do this, he enlists a bold and cynical woman named Takao to pose as his wife, hoping her presence will help him break off his relationships.
Although the novella's premise hints at humor and irony, Dazai’s death by suicide left it incomplete, leaving readers to wonder how the story might have concluded. "Goodbye" stands as a glimpse into the author's attempt at a lighter, more comedic narrative—perhaps signaling a shift in his writing that would never fully materialize.
