No longer Human

Osamu Dazai

This novel portrays the struggles of a protagonist, Oba Yozo, who feels incapable of understanding human beings. The story follows his attempts to reconcile with the world around him, from childhood to adulthood. The novel records life's moments of human connection and cruelty without sentimentality. Semi-autobiographical, the novel explores the feeling of alienation from society and is the final completed work of Osamu Dazai, one of Japan's most important writers.

I absolutely loved reading this book. Dazai clearly is a phenomenal writer and this is everything I would want from a novel.      source
