Anmeldelser
"Dazai’s brand of egoistic pessimism dovetails organically with the emo chic of this cultural moment."
Andrew Martin - The New York Times
"Seventy-five years later, No Longer Human still reads with an apt urgency. As the musician Patti Smith once put it, Dazai 'wrote at the pace of a dying man, yearning for ... the solution to an unresolved equation.'"
Jane Yong Kim - The Atlantic
"No Longer Human is his masterpiece, though all his work is worthy. Dazai was an aristocratic tramp, a self described delinquent, yet he wrote with the forbearance of a fasting scribe. "
Patti Smith
"What I despise about Dazai is that he exposes precisely those things in myself that I most want to hide."
Yukio Mishima
"From the point of view of wholesome common sense, Dazai’s writings may be regarded as the soliloquies of a deviant."
Yasunari Kawabata
