Just Started To Read No Longer Human By Osamu Dazai. So Far, It’s Pretty Interesting! I’m Maybe Halfway?
just started to read no longer human by osamu dazai. so far, it’s pretty interesting! i’m maybe halfway? through the second notebook
when i was reading the back, the summary mentioned how it was one of dazai’s last complete works and that just suddenly reminded me of a vid i saw of someone basically describing the book as his suicide letter, and i can see why
i don’t know too much about his life. it’s just a bit sad to think that this book was him laying himself bare under the guise of yozo, as if to finally tell people,”this is how it really feels”
that sense of feeling alienated from everybody is personal, and it feels strange to read it out on paper after going on for so long not knowing how to articulate it
the perspective of yozo does have his faults, i know that he’s an unreliable narrator, he does some fucked up things, and his opinions definitely were a product of its time. i just think it shows just how human he really was; he’s flawed.
like when he describes how he didn’t feel like he was loved while growing up, just taken care of. for me that really just illustrates how detached he was, his isolation clouded his judgement. because while yes the people in his life may have just taken care of him and nothing else, there’s also the probability that they really did love him
the writing style is beautiful. i’m not really sure where this will go. i know this is kind of a lot for only the first two sections i just think too much lol

I don’t wanna fear having daughters.
I don’t wanna have to say,
“Baby, learn from my mistakes.”

While farming candles in Golden Wasteland today, there's a Sky Kid who nearly died and this kid's fading body was located pretty far away from where the candles or lights are but I swear I've never seen a swarm of Sky Children move SO FAST to reach the kid, including me who's only a moth with sloppy maneuvering. Think about you pausing a video game mid-fight to recharge but it's completely the opposite of that: Suddenly there are at least 7 people pulling out med kits to heal you from every direction you can think of (some even land on top of your head but you're too out of it to feel anything anyway)
