Quote that resignated with me “Mine was a life of shame.” Oba Yozo
I decided to give No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai a 4.75, mainly because
This book is a semi-autobiographical story of author Osamu Dazai’s life. Dazai sadly unalived himself a few months after publishing NLH.
Oba Yozo, the main protagonist, lead a tough life, full of addiction, depression, and anxiety. Which lead him to try and unalive himself with partner Tsuneko. Sadly Tsuneko passed away, but Yozo stayed alive, and was in trouble with the Japanese law enforcement. This lead to more addiction, drinking, and later on morphine addiction
Moderate: Addiction, Drug use, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Vomit, and Suicide attempt

It’s beautifully written.
I love me some existential ramblings. Yozo is (maybe) relatable if you’ve ever felt out of place and/or have had depression, which makes you feel bad since
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable
Graphic: Addiction, Alcoholism, Drug abuse, Drug use, Mental illness, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Suicide attempt, Abandonment, and Alcohol
Moderate: Body shaming and Death of parent
Minor: Child abuse, Pedophilia, Blood, Vomit, Medical content, and Injury/Injury detail
Some of the minor trigger warnings are listed as “minor” as they’re only mentioned in passing and are not major plot points of the book.kouran94's review against another edition
