A short story by Dazai Osamu
1900-48 translated from the Japanese by Ivan Morris
Read by Robert Rietty
' Until the day of my death I shall not forget the man who came to my house that afternoon last September. Although on the surface there may have been nothing very spectacular about his visit, I am convinced that it was a momentous event in my life. For to me this man foretold a new species of humanity.'
