No Longer Human

Osamu Dazai

Humans are incomprehensible―― From that one phrase, everything began. A man who feared people, unable to understand them, yet continued to play the "fool" out of fear of rejection. The true self hidden behind laughter. A heart that is breaking and an unending decline. Eventually, he declares this to himself. ――Disqualified as a human. This is a quiet, painful, and definitive confession of a man who could not live as a human.
