No Longer Human

This clothbound hardcover edition presents the modern Japanese novel, No Longer Human, written by Osamu Dazai and translated into English by Donald Keene. The narrative explores the alienation and existential struggles of Yozo Oba, a young man who feels entirely disconnected from society and incapable of understanding human behavior. Masking his anxieties with a clownish persona, Oba descends into a spiral of self-destruction and isolation. This compact volume offers a durable physical format for one of the widely read works of twentieth-century Japanese literature, capturing the depths of the protagonist's inner conflict and psychological estrangement.
