Oba Yozo's 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. Review No Longer Human is his masterpiece, though all his work is worthy. Dazai was an aristocratic tramp, a self described delinquent, yet he wrote with the forbearance of a fasting scribe.--Patti SmithDazai offers something permanent and beautiful. From the Back Cover This story tells the poignant and fascinating story of a young man who is caught between the breakup of the traditions of a northern Japanese aristocratic family and the impact of Western ideas. About the Author Osamu Dazai (1909-1948) was a 20th century Japanese novelist. Review: hmm - okay Review: Review - No longer human is relatable because of the unfiltered way of expressing things even as gruesome aas it is. Dazai paints humanness without shying away and in a way no author has come close. Read about it and also Gifted to friends several times (my go to gift for bibliomaniacs) One friend got trau-matized by the sheer amount of depr ession and expression and so I trau-matized him again with " Elie Wiesel - Night" fair to say it's gonna ask him some time to recover after seeing the bareness of what humans are truly like. While one of my friends ended up returning the same energy by answering the Dazai's book with Albert Camus books 1. The Stranger (an even stranger book ) and 2. The myth of Sisyphus, truly a tandem to Dazai's No longer human. Truly a classic. ## Features - New Directions Publishing Corporation - It is durable and long lasting - It ensures you get the best usage for a longer period ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,528 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,009 in Anthologies (Books) #2,930 in Classic Fiction (Books) #6,041 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 17,834 Reviews | ## Images ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41alKvN9GwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hmm *by A***L on 19 August 2026* okay ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***I on 5 October 2024* No longer human is relatable because of the unfiltered way of expressing things even as gruesome aas it is.

The words are not properly printed which is a lil bummer but over all the story is very mature and understandable. ## Frequently Bought Together - No Longer Human - The Setting Sun (New Directions Book) - Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/92246511-no-longer-human-new-directions-book](https://www.desertcart.no/products/92246511-no-longer-human-new-directions-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
