New Directions will be re-releasing Osamu Dazai’s books, No Longer Human and The Setting Sun, in October/November 2022. They will use the covers designed by Stefan Salter for the first editions of the books published in the 1960s, which feature art prints by Kiyoshi Saito.

I happen to own the first editions and they are two of of my favorite books design-wise. The cover art does such a great job representing their contents:

“But then there’s another place: I gave to my editor an Abarat painting, I gave her the picture towards the end of the first book of Malingo with the skull flowers in his hands? It’s a nice sort of Halloween picture because the colours are deliberately purple and orange and he’s got a big smile on his face; he’s very happy, this strange guy with these skull flowers in hand. I think there’s a lot of off-beat choices amongst the pages that would please a kid who doesn’t want something quite so sweet as is often offered up. But I would say, you know, don’t be too cautious, because I think you can be too cautious.”
