Are Japanese authors like Dazai and Mishima the precursors to light novelists or anime scenario writers? It's interesting how you have contemporary Japanese writers that are westernized like Murakami, and then older authors who echo the soul and longing of otaku writers. A similar situation can be seen with Dostoevsky and contemporary westernized authors from his own country being so different from otaku authors who take inspiration from him. I don't know about British/American literature much, but is there a similar phenomenon there?
I have an idea that the development of literature has been alternating in>soul - soulless - soul - soullesscycles. Now that Japan is rising both in skill and popularity, it's the final step of the cycle that will separate soul and soulless writers and give two definitive paths for the world to follow.
