This book delves on in this character Yozo as he has grown up reflecting on all of his flaws and blaming himself for everything. He believes in the fact that he is no longer considered a human being and questions what it means to be living. He also convinces himself that others see him that way too. The story navigates its way through childhood all the way to adulthood, and really shows how he dealt through with his depression durning that time.

Reading this is painful especially finding out a lot of the things that happen in the book actually occurred in the author’s life. Like, yes, I know it’s a semi autobiography but the fiction tends to be 80% not 20%. 

Anyway, what i find fascinating even in not being able to understand humans, when it comes to woman there’s definitely some sort of understanding that woman are the lesser being. 🙄

I think the writing is quite poignant, it’s what drew me in, the author is really able to show the character as is without justifying the actions of the character.

I love this book, but be warned that it deals with a lot of serious topics and is not for the faint of heart. Also the history behind this book is insane; it's semi-autobiographical but in the eyes of someone who is likely schizophrenic and bipolar, which adds a layer of mystery that's confusing in the best way possible. If your ok with darker books then I 100% recommend No Longer Human.
