　　日本「無賴派」掌門人．太宰治．自傳式頹廢美學經典
　　日本史上銷售前三名的必讀經典

　　昭和時代的頹廢美學，無賴男子的自我放逐。
　　「失去做人的資格」，太宰治用一句話，一本書，
　　留給我們一個「生而為人，我很抱歉」的背影。

　　我需要酒、需要藥、需要女人，但也可以隨時不要，只需要死亡。
　　我不需要愛、不需要自尊、不需要責任，卻又隨時需要，因為這是生而為人的證明。
　　然而世人是什麼？不就是個人的集合體嗎？那麼個人，乃至於人類，又是什麼呢？

　　「回首前塵，盡是可恥的過往」

　　作為太宰治的最後一部作品，「人間失格」是作者為自己半生荒唐下的註解，主角大庭葉藏則是太宰治畢生精魂的凝鍊。
　　這部作品完成後不久，太宰治便以投河自盡演繹了主角的結局，用自己的生命為這篇故事畫下句點。

看著這本會想到，我對日本作家的認識，有好多是透過新井一二三的介紹呀！
雖然想簡單說他就是個無賴渣男，還是有種無法輕易對他人的人生下評論的感覺～能把渣男寫成無法令人真心討厭，太宰本人果然很有魅力吧

honestly the genre for this is genre-depressing.

i picked this up on a whim after seeing it while reading the catcher in the rye. i thought they looked similar, in a way.

my first foray into japanese lit, and damn it is as depressing as i thought it would be. more verisimilitude than i expected, which kinda makes it more depressing.

i think it's difficult for me to see beyond how autobiographical this book was, and i always have a harder time connecting to autobiographies. i always feel like the story would be constrained by how things went down in true life, whether that's true or not. and this events of this book appears to echo the author's own (pretty crazy) one at every turn, so i can't help but view the story through a narrower lens sometimes -- i'm thinking, "damn, that happened to dazai?" rather than contemplating what it all means.

to be fair, the author's life is definitely worthy of making a show or a book about. it's batshit crazy and depressing, and so are the events of this book. i can't say much for the prose, or the stream-of-consciousness narration that doesn't do too much for me -- i'm reading a translation, after all. however, the sense of alienation that permeates the whole book is somehow viscerally relatable even though i'm not at all similar to the protagonist in any way. some lines send chills up my spine (in a good but depressing way). but after reading this book, i feel just sort of empty. not like emotionally drained, but empty. aka wtf did i read. however, i'm suddenly extremely curious about dazai's life. it is an incredibly interesting read (i like reading wikis but not autobiographies).

maybe i'll get more from this book when im older.

some really beautiful reflections in there about how we’re all fumbling the bag of life being humans, but it fell off for me towards the end. this is a story of a man, throughly pessimistic with major unresolved childhood trauma, smart, overly reflective, abuser of substances. by the end it hasn’t gotten anywhere except him being older.
loved the poem he quoted in the middle next to his nude drawing though (Rubayiat)

[Lula · Rating 4 out of 5]

年幼时的把自己划到人类之外的清醒，和后期的渣男行为，不知道为什么总是很容易感同身受。这个和《被嫌弃的松子的医生》《百年酒馆》《伦敦生活》都好像，第一反应其实都是觉得主角好作，为什么那么多正常的路不去走，而是把自己作到如此悲惨的地步，可是自己却总是会有种理解的心情，人总是没有办法像设定好的路去走的啊，总是有这样或者那样的让人无法理解，但是顺应自己内心的行为啊。

他以痛苦一詞寫下的無賴之作，當中包含能夠和讀者產生共鳴的地方，但也會一時令人慨嘆：「原來世上還有這種思維」。

身為喜愛日本文學的人，就不得不讀太宰治的作品。其作品《人間失格》便是我最為崇拜的文學，而今次決定一口氣看完。只能說，讀完的感覺遠離不了心情沉重，有般看透世界萬物的氣派。普通的人看了可能會認為這不過是極度誇張的小說，把人類的醜態一一誇大的列出，可真正的讀者只會陶醉於這自毀式的文筆，與太宰的經歷產生共鳴。最可怕的是，很多讀者與本人一樣，都對太宰的思想，結論，甚至感受都表示點頭讚同。一個尋找死亡的作家與共同尋死的讀者起了共鳴。究竟世間是何時變成廢都般，只隱藏著一群經歷千辛萬苦而樂意尋死的無賴派？倘若有機會，即便這並不會改變什麼，我想給太宰一個擁抱，感謝他寫下這暴露眾人最深藏在心裡不表現出的一面，更感謝他能鼓出勇氣把人生經歷寫下，讓我們後代能好好品味這傑作。

"No Longer Human" is a deep look into a person's feelings of sadness and feeling out of place. Written like a diary, the story seems a lot like the author's own life. It shows the main character's hard times and how he changes over time. Even though the story is often sad, it tells a powerful tale about life's tough moments.

原本想在长假找本「轻松不用动脑」的小说来看看，突然想起这本书在书架上放了很久，于是就拿了来读。几十页过去，觉得文风不对，去查了查背景资料，才发现太宰治是谁…没文化真可怕。第一次读太宰治，应该也是最后一次。实在太压抑。每个人多多少少都在为了取悦他人而自扮小丑，但我却无法同情自暴自弃自怨自艾的人，不论是角色还是作者本人。谁没有无法言及的痛？谁没有不想揭开的疤？生活是自己在每一个关口作出选择的结果。Own your life.

[Yen-chun Chen · Rating 1 out of 5]

不受父母的疼愛和關注，試圖用幽默去融入他生活的世界，想愛但又害怕受到傷害，不停地隱藏真正的自己，甚至用虛假的外表去傷害其他人。認為自殺才是解決所有問題的方式。

77.0% - 沒有完全的了解科學，只是收集了一堆的資料，而自己胡亂地解釋，而以這個為藉口，表示為何無法進入人群。卻不知問題在於有問題的精神狀況，因家庭的漠視而造成的憂鬱症。從未有人好好地正視此情況，所以也未能得到真正地幫助。

A reread.

[PH]

國中時很迷戀日本文豪作品，依稀記得太宰治是我最初觸碰的文字。此時我完全記不起來內容和所述道理，可能是女人、酒、紙筆等拼湊出來的書籍，還有他想死，不斷嘗試自殺，並且與當時的女伴一起。我不知道，也不記得感想與想法，如同雲煙渺渺。
