“No Longer Human” is one of the representative works of Osamu Dazai. This paper is a review about the format, structure, narrative, and hero’s character of “No Longer Human”. The format of this novel is composed by five part such as preface, first memorandum, second memorandum, third memorandum, and postface. Preface and postface among these, it describes the main character Yozoh as the third person. By targeting the main character Yozoh to describe the third-person narrative, the author made Yozoh’s memorandum to be seen rather than to demonstrate to the general reader. By doing so, it made Yozoh’s memorandum, not a flimsy confession to demonstrate to the general reader, and made to look as honest confession of a man decides to commit suicide. With such effect of the preface and postface, readers will feel the thrill of sneaking and spying illusion without the permission of the secret private confession. The sentiment reads like a secret diary the sneak peek accomplice would be to place a corner of the mind of the reader.
This novel is a fiction that is extremely close to the actual life of the author of Osamu Dazai. By the secret and not secret that the main character and author overlap, readers may compare that appears is what is reflected in variations in the actual circumstances of the case or reading novels, like solving puzzles, and can feel the fun. It is causing a lot of empathy and compassion called the most impressive and appealing characters that Yozoh effectively, and the development of the story right over his clown doing.
