No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai - Book Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! We started with the idea this would be a 15-20 minute book talk. Somehow, this book inspired to expand this into a much more ambitious project. We involved a licensed mental health therapist and a friend who's read Japanese literature for 20 years to create this project today. We're going to look at the philosophy, psychology, mental illness, and diagnoses of Yozo today. We are going to talk about nihilism, idealized self, imposter syndrome and more. This is all meant to be for entertainment and we hope you can view it that way.
