Thoughts on "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai

CW: This book deals with themes of suicide and dissociation. I do not recommend it if you are currently in crisis. Please use this link or call 988 if you need immediate help: https://988lifeline.org/ This was Osamu Dazai's last book (published in 1948) and is still a bestseller in Japan. It's a heartbreaking semi-autobiographical narrative of a young man who feels he's been disqualified to be a human being. He struggles to understand and connect to the people around him and uses a sort of "class clown" persona to convince people that he isn't suffering. Support me! Venmo: Saoirse-Ibarguen Follow me!
