In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Workers Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime.

The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis- America, The Trial and The Castle.
