No Longer Human By: Osamu Dazai Publisher: New Directions Print ISBN: 9780811204811, 0811204812 eText ISBN: 9780811220071, 0811220079 Copyright year: 1958 Format: EPUB Available from $ 13.95 USD SKU: 9780811220071R180 The poignant and fascinating story of a young man who is caught between the breakup of the traditions of a northern Japanese aristocratic family and the impact of Western ideas. Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a clown to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.
