Book Review: No Longer Human By Osmau Dazai

Book Review: No Longer Human By Osmau Dazai

Destinee Mahlmeister, Contributor

Time for another book review today. We are going to be reviewing Osamu Dazai’s, No Longer Human, which is one of my favorite books. 

No Longer Human is not for the weak of heart. This book has many depressing themes. It deals with stuff like anxiety, depression, addiction suicide, and many more things. So, if you can’t do that stuff, I suggest that this book might not be for you. This book has changed many people’s perspectives on life, and many people will not be able to look at life the same way again. 

This book is about a young man named Oba Yozo and his look on life. He has seen himself as not human or an outcast to society, and he becomes a clown to mask his alienation. This book is semi-autobiographical and is a really good book to read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. This book has literally changed lives.
