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.

Critic Reviews
"The novel has a timeless quality: The struggle of the individual to fit into a normalizing society remains just as relevant today as it was at the time of writing." ( The Japan Times)
Editor's Pick
The gut-wrenching effort to belong
"Born of alienation and touch of depravity, No Longer Human gets right down to the brass tacks of existential crisis. It is disturbing and deeply sad in many ways, but also unusually reassuring because it is such a raw representation of a person struggling with their flaws, face first."
—Michael D., Audible Editor
