あらすじ・解説
"A Certain Fool's Life" is not a cohesive narrative with a traditional plot. Instead, it's a series of vignettes, anecdotes, and reflections that offer glimpses into the life, thoughts, and feelings of a man referred to as "the fool." These fragments, presented in a non-chronological order, delve into the inner turmoil, anxieties, and obsessions of Akutagawa himself. The work is characterized by its introspective, self-deprecating, and often despairing tone. The "fool" grapples with his artistic ambitions, his struggle with mental health, his fear of death, and his disillusionment with the world around him. **English translation is genarative by generative AI
