About this listen

A dark literary cult classic about alienation, self-destruction, and not fitting in.

A timeless story of isolation and inner torment, Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human follows Yozo Oba, a man who hides behind laughter while drifting toward self-destruction.

Based on Dazai's own life and newly translated by award-winning translator Juliet Winters Carpenter, this modern classic explores what it means to feel disconnected from humanity.

Deeply introspective, emotionally raw, and painfully honest, it continues to resonate with listeners today—especially fans of dark literary fiction and contemporary Japanese literature.
