About Book:
For fans of No Longer Human, Osamu Dazai’s darkly bewitching novel about the small redemptions of being a pathetic, miserable writer.
A fictional writer in his thirties named Osamu Dazai has just mailed his publisher an awful manuscript, filling him with dread and shame. Wandering along a river in a nearby park in suburban Tokyo, he meets a high-school dropout and the two get into an intellectual spat. Eventually, Dazai finds himself agreeing to perform in the boy’s place that very night as the live narrator of a film screening…
So begins the madcap adventure of The Beggar Student, where there is glamor in destitution and glimmerings of truth in intellectual one-upmanship. Replete with settings straight out of the popular anime Bungo Stray Dogs and echoes of the themes in No Longer Human, this biting novella captures the infamous Japanese writer at his mordant best.

Worth buying. Makes reading in low light so much easier.
Bought this for my sister who loves reading before bedtime. She absolutely loves it! The light quality is very smooth. highly recommended.
I carry this with every book I take on the go. It’s slim, lightweight, and clips easily into my book. The adjustable brightness modes are excellent, especially during travel and study sessions.
This little LED lamp has changed my late night reading routine. The light is soft on my eyes and bright enough to read comfortably without disturbing anyone. Love the rechargeable feature no batteries to replace.
Great Book.
