First published in 1948, 'No Longer Human' is one of the most celebrated novels in contemporary Japanese literature. Osamu Dazai, its author, incorporated numerous episodes from his turbulent life into the three notebooks that make up this novel, which narrate, in the first person and in a stark manner, the progressive decline as a human being of Yozo, a young student from the provinces who leads a dissolute life in Tokyo. Repudiated by his family after a suicide attempt and unable to live in harmony with his hypocritical peers, Yozo barely survives as a cartoonist and subsists thanks to the help of women who fall in love with him despite his alcoholism and morphine addiction.
Over the years, this work has become one of the most popular in Japanese literature, selling over ten million copies since its first publication.
