No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai – Book Summary, Analysis, Review (Japanese Classics)

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning that you wanted us to talk about more? Let us know in the comments below! We started with the idea that it would be a 15-20 minute lecture. Somehow this book inspired the idea to expand this project into a much more ambitious project. We involved a licensed mental health therapist and a friend who has been reading Japanese literature for 20 years to create this project today. We're going to look at Yozo's philosophy, psychology, mental illness, and diagnoses today. We're going to talk about nihilism, the idealized self, imposter syndrome, etc. This is all meant to be entertaining and we hope you can see it that way. Let's talk about one of the best-selling classics in Japan.
