It is considered a masterpiece of Dazaya and is the second largest selling novel ever in Japan, after Kokoro Nazum Seseki. The literal translation of the title discussed by Donald Keane in the foreword to the English translation is Disqualified from Human Existence. The first-person novel contains several elements that depict an autobiographical basis, such as suicide, a recurring theme in the author's life. Many believe that the book was his will as Dazai took his own life shortly after the last part of the book (which appeared in serial form) was published. As of January 1, 2019, the book is in the public domain. The no Longer Human plot is told in the form of notebooks left by one of the Yazo zbas, a restless man庭葉蔵 unable to reveal his true identity to others, and who, instead, maintains a facade of hollow playfulness. The work consists of three chapters, or memorandum, which chronicle the life of the zba from early childhood to his late twenties. The first memorandum: Overcome a strong sense of alienation and otherwise and find it almost impossible to understand those around him, who live in selfishness and bad faith, the zba can not but resort to jestering in order to establish interpersonal relationships. As a child, he was abused by a male servant and a female employee, but decided that it would be useless to report it. Second memorandum: the sba is increasingly worried about the potential penetration of his cheerful facade by his classmate Takeichi, who sees through his false joke. He befriended him to prevent Takeichi from revealing his secret. When he shows Takeichi the ghost as the paintings of Amedeo Modigliani, he realizes that some artists express the inner truth of human cruelty through their own trauma. He paints a self- portrait inspired by these artists, which is so terrible that he dares not show it to anyone but Takeichi, who reveres the painting. He neglects his studies at university for fear of collective life. Influenced by fellow artists, Horiki, whom he meets in a painting class, both descend into a vicious pattern of drinking, smoking and harloting, culminating in a one-night stand with a married woman with whom he tries to commit double suicide through drowning. Although he survives, she dies, leaving him with nothing but a painful sense of guilt. Third memorandum, part one: the sba is excluded from the university, and is under the care of a friend He tries to have a normal relationship with a single mother serving as the surrogate father of his little girl, but refuses them in favor of living with the madame bar he patronizes. Since then, he has been trying to believe that the meaning of society for man is to break free from the fear of humanity. He drinks heavily, inspired by Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. Later, he falls into a relationship with Yoshiko, a young and naive woman who wants him to stop drinking. Third Memorandum, Part 2: By grounding Yoshiko's influence on his life, he stops drinking and finds a lucrative job as a cartoonist. Then Horiki appears, again turning the zba into self-destructive behavior. Worse, in the moment of recalling Dostoevsky's crime and punishment as he discusses the antonym of crimes with Horiki, the sba becomes estranged from his wife after an incident in which she was sexually abused by a random acquaintance. Over time, he becomes an alcoholic and a morphine addict, out of a fatal fear that he believes he has faced an attack by his wife. Eventually he finds himself in a psychiatric hospital and, after his release, moves to an isolated place, reading this story numbed by self-reflection after deep despair. The story is bookended with two other, shorter, chapters from the perspective of a neutral observer who sees three photos of the zba and eventually tracks one of the characters mentioned in the notebooks that knew him personally. The sba refers to itself throughout the book, using the reflexive pronoun Jibun (⾃分), while the personal pronoun Watashi (私) is used both in the foreword and in the afterword to the book of the writer, whose name is unclear. The name Sba is actually taken from one of Dazaya's early works, The Petals of Buffonery (道化華).
