This was an interesting read but I absolutely do not recommend it for learning purposes. Read it because you like literature or poetry but not because you want to improve your vocabulary or grammar. This is closer to a poem than a story and between choppy partial sentences and lots of katakana substituting hiragana and kanji it is a difficult read.
I honestly wasn't sure how to grade this because the meaning/mood of the poem(?) isn't too hard but the writing is so nonstandard and I feel like it

To give people an idea what ア、秋 is about, it's Dazai's musings about his poem writing process and how he collects ideas.
Overall, it's an interesting read and compared to a lot of older books Dazai's style is still very approachable, but it's not an easy read due to some harder and/or older words and use of katakana instead of hiragana (noticeable in other older words as well?).
