Author Description

NO LONGER HUMAN OSAMU DAZAI<br/><br/>In "No Longer Human" Novel, Dazai conveys something authentic. He observes himself through a mirror and describes himself as Oba Yozo. He examines himself and sees inside his inner torture as he struggles to get in sync with the dark world of 'Human Beings'. The novel is a delicate interweaving of facts that ruthlessly documents Yozo's passage of time and life through three diaries in a crescendo of misery and isolation. No Longer Human was his last published work in his lifetime. One of the most successful masterpieces in Japan. A dark tale in which he manages to associate his dissolute conduct with that of the charming young university student Oba-Yozo.<br/>Dazai is still one of Japan's most famous writers, and the most popular Osamu Dazai books and novels are The Setting Sun, Blue Bamboo, Schoolgirl, Good-Bye.
