Sure, there are some similarities between Stoner and No Longer Human-- male protagonist narrates a mostly unremarkable life story, both are sad --but where Stoner was a sad book filled with many uplifting moments of passion, love and integrity, Dazai's book is extremely depressing. Every little event in the life of the protagonist, no matter how seemingly innocuous, is ugly, hateful, without a ...

The last part of the book was No longer human. The reason I think this was a brilliant move is because you really get to know Dazai through his earlier works and then you can spot all of the times that he spoke the truth in No longer human. For me, reading No longer human was heart breaking because I've gotten so close to Dazai in the course of ...
No Longer Human is basically the definition of a Watashi Shōsetsu. An entire genre came from this (I mean there were others before, but Dazai really gave it the shape it had forever since). But like other works in that genre, it's kinda rough reading this knowing it's basically autobiographical, and one can speculate whether Dazai specifically focuses on all the negative stuff and dark thoughts.

Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human, this leading postwar Japanese writer's second novel, tells 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. In consequence, he feels himself "disqualified from being human" (a literal translation of the Japanese title).
Jun 13, 2011 · No Longer Human. Translated by Donald Keene. (1948; translation 1958, 1973, New York: New Directions). 177pp. ★★★★☆ (4/5). Recently I’ve been wrapping up my first novel, which will likely be called Rosebuds and Rye. It’s the first in a series of probably three parts, called No More Dreams, and I’ve started to pass it around.
