A review by pilfering
No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai

dark emotional

4.0

its a depressing novel exploring the main character Yozos emotional turmoil and alienation in 1940s Japan as he grapples with his suicidal tendencies and his inability to feel human connection as he manages to further isolate himself through his 'clowning', his lack of genuineness only alienating him further. its really good and its very clear why its one of the best selling novels in Japan to date.
