This is an introduction to Osamu Dazai's problematic work 'No longer human'. This introduction is different from the usual ones. It includes an analysis by ChrisKyogetu, one of the few Catholic writers in Japan.
She was devout enough to have her books evaluated by the bishop, but in 2018 she attempted suicide at the end of a relationship with a priest. On her return, she found a way to live with Dazai Osamu. Dazai Osamu is not well known in Japan, but he was a great lover of the Bible. And his mistress, who also died with him, had studied the Bible at the YMCA. There are many contradictions between the Bible's teachings and Dazai's love, and he is not well regarded by Japanese Catholics. "No longer human" is a posthumous work written by Dazai while his mistress nursed him back to health when he was dying of tuberculosis.ChrisKyogetu draws on his own experience to give an unclouded view of faith and contradiction, explaining why he committed suicide and why he remained in unfaithful love.
