Ironically, in a book about being unable to connect with others, I wasn't able to connect with the book

There is a reason that this book has stood the testament of time. Published in 1948, I think it is one of my oldest reads, and I believe the Osamu Dazai did a phenomenal job at retelling the life of Yozo. Yozo, struggling with the duality of Japanese tradition and western influence, is a phenomenal example of what it truly means to be human despite the title of no longer human. His struggle with feeling emotion found community with me and I think that was the main contributor as to why I was so drawn to the book itself. I hope to read more of Osamu Dazais works in the future.

"Everything passes. That is the one and only thing I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell."

The last sort of 50 pages got significantly better and redeemed the rest of the book but still not my cup of tea

The start was great. The last third was kind of hard to read and dragged. The epilogue really pulled it back at the end

boff no me acordaba de lo misógino que era...me desalienta un poco a la hora de leer "colegiala", pero ya que lo tengo de la biblio y las reseñas de ese son buenas igual sí que lo leo...

if you've read books by men about a man who has fucked up feelings and just doesn't get society you've read this already. maybe it would have hit different when i was 17 or if hadn't already read five other variations of the same thing.
