No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) is the story of a young man caught between the disintegration of the traditions of his aristocratic provincial family and the impact of modern Western ideas. Largely auto biographical, No Longer Human explores Dazai' s feeling of being ' disqualified from being human' (the literal translation of the original title) - a sense of loss and anomie that remains strong in Japan even today among those who struggle to reconcile their attachments to tradition with the necessities of living in a global economy. ' To know the nature of despair and to triumph over it in the ways that are possible to oneself - imagination was Dazai' s only weapon - is surely a sort of grace. ' - Richard Gilman, Jubilee
