Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.895.6344Dazai Osamu624484Shih DavidnrtKeene Donald1922-2019trlAUDIO9910155626503321No longer human1273804UNINA
