He's best known for works like Hurray for Marriage and The Paradox of Youth, which planted him firmly in the Decadent School movement. His stuff fell under the Pure Literature category—the kind of writing that prioritized artistic merit over commercial appeal.
Apparently he was pretty into curry rice with a raw egg on top, which fans have noted as one of those oddly specific details that humanizes historical figures. He died young, in early 1947, at just 33 years old.
