“I came across “Wish Fulfilled,” a self-published translation of a short story by Osamu Dazai, during my periodic search for (new) English translations of his work, which are woefully scarce. It’s a lovely little story, filled with—for Dazai—uncharacteristic optimism and hope in the face of addiction.”

—Steven R. Kraaijeveld, GoodReads #6 most followed reviewer
