I’ll never forget picking this book up for the first time. It wasn't just a read; it was an entire experience that changed how I look at literature (and myself). No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is my 'first ever' Japanese book, and it’s the reason I fell down the rabbit hole of melancholic, beautiful stories. It’s the raw, heartbreaking story of Yozo, a man who feels like an alien in his own life, hiding his true self behind a mask of jokes and 'clowning' just to survive society. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, or if you just want a story that isn't afraid to go to the darkest corners of the human heart, this is the book. It’s haunting, it’s a total classic, and it’s the piece of my soul I’m sharing with you guys today.
