No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai's dark literary classic, No Longer Human, delves into themes of alienation and self-destruction through the life of Yozo Oba, a man masking his inner turmoil with laughter as he faces profound disconnection from humanity. Newly translated by award-winning translator Juliet Winters Carpenter, this introspective and emotionally raw tale reflects Dazai's own experiences and continues to resonate with fans of dark literary fiction and contemporary Japanese literature.
