Description: No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai1958 Translated by Donald Keene 177 pages Presumed First Edition Thus: This publisher did not state editions or printings on its books at the time of this title's publication, but according to Zempel and Verkler very few New Directions clothbound editions went into second printings. According to Wikipedia, this edition was the first to be published in English. Originally published in 1948, this classic of postwar Japanese literature was released one month after the author's suicide at age 38. It explores many of the issues that affected Dazai's own life and is considered to be his masterpiece. This item is a rare copy of this edition, especially in this condition.
