Contents:
No Longer Human is an influential novel by Japanese novelist Osamu Dazai, published in 1948. It is an autobiographical novel. The decadence revealed in the delicate autobiography is a destructive last work. Dazai Osamu cleverly hides his life and thoughts in the life experience of the protagonist Yozo. Through Yozo's monologue, we can peek into Dazai Osamu's inner world - "a life full of shame". In the same year when the work was published, Dazai Osamu committed suicide, drawing a period for himself.
