NO LONGER HUMAN - OSAMU DAZAI DONALD KEENE GEBU...

Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life
of a human being.   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. His 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. Still one
of the ten bestselling books in Japan  No Longer Human is an important and unforgettable modern
classic: "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 )
