No Longer Human
No Longer Human is the haunting story of Yozo ?ba, a young man who feels completely disconnected from society. On the surface, he plays the role of the cheerful clown—always smiling, always joking—but inside, he is drowning in loneliness, shame, and self-doubt.
Through his notebooks, Yozo reveals his struggles with identity, his failed attempts at love and friendship, and his slow slide into self-destruction. The novel paints an unflinching portrait of a man who cannot find his place in the world, making it one of the most powerful explorations of alienation and despair in modern literature.
Osamu Dazai’s No Longer Human is raw, intimate, and unforgettable—a timeless story about what it means to feel human, and what happens when you no longer can.
