The main reason for No Longer Human ’s popularity not only has to do with the late author’s infamous double-suicide, but mainly due to the fact that it is an incredibly well-written semi-autobiography which details the tragic events and trauma that Dazai experienced throughout his life. His notable works include “ Run Melos! ” (1940), “ The Setting Sun ” (1947), and his most popular novel titled “ No Longer Human ” (1948) – which is considered to be his last completed work. Tsushima Shuji (June 19 th, 1909 – June 13 th, 1948), better known as Dazai Osamu, was a famous Japanese author who was active during WWII and the post-war period.
